Proverbs‬ ‭5‬:‭8, 15-21‬

Stay away from the woman who commits adultery. Don’t even go near her house.

Now, about sex and marriage: Drink only the water that comes from your own well, and don’t let your water flow out into the streets. Keep it for yourself, and don’t share it with strangers. Be happy with your own wife. Enjoy the woman you married while you were young. She is like a beautiful deer, a lovely fawn. Let her love satisfy you completely. Stay drunk on her love, and don’t go stumbling into the arms of another woman. The Lord clearly sees everything you do. He watches where you go. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭5‬:‭8, 15-21‬ ERV)

Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬

Above all, be careful what you think because your thoughts control your life. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬ ERV)

Exodus‬ ‭23‬:‭24-27‬

“Don’t worship their gods. Don’t ever bow down to those gods. You must never live the way those people live. You must destroy their idols. And you must break the stones that help them remember their gods. You must serve the Lord your God. If you do this, I will bless you with plenty of bread and water. I will take away all sickness from you. Your women will all be able to have babies. None of their babies will die at birth. And I will allow you to live long lives. “When you fight against your enemies, I will send my great power before you. I will help you defeat all your enemies. The people who are against you will become confused in battle and run away. (‭Exodus‬ ‭23‬:‭24-27‬ ERV)

Exodus‬ ‭22‬:‭21-29‬

“Remember, in the past you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. So you should not cheat or hurt anyone who is a foreigner in your land. “You must never do anything bad to women whose husbands are dead or to orphans. If you do anything wrong to these widows or orphans, I will know it. I will hear about their suffering. And I will be very angry. I will kill you with a sword. Then your wives will become widows, and your children will become orphans. “If you loan money to any of my people, that is, the poor among you, don’t be like a moneylender and charge them interest. You might take their cloak to make sure they pay the money back, but you must give that cloak back to them before sunset. That cloak might be their only protection against the cold when they lie down to sleep. If they call to me for help, I will listen because I am kind. “You must not curse God or the leaders of your people. “At harvest time you should give me the first grain and the first juice from your fruit. Don’t wait until late in the year. “Give me your firstborn sons. (‭Exodus‬ ‭22‬:‭21-29‬ ERV)

Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5-12

Trust the Lord completely, and don’t depend on your own knowledge. With every step you take, think about what he wants, and he will help you go the right way. Don’t trust in your own wisdom, but fear and respect the Lord and stay away from evil. If you do this, it will be like a refreshing drink and medicine for your body. Honor the Lord with your wealth and the first part of your harvest. Then your barns will be full of grain, and your barrels will be overflowing with wine. My son, don’t reject the Lord ’S discipline, and don’t be angry when he corrects you. The Lord corrects the one he loves, just as a father corrects a child he cares about. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5-12‬ ERV)
