Proverbs 5/31 A forbidden lover may seem sweet, but behind the veneer is bitter decay that leads to death. Drink from your own well. Your spouse is for you, and you for your spouse. Take joy in your spouse’s loveliness, and delight in their love. One who falls into the arms of the forbidden lover is suddenly and unexpectedly ensnared in an inescapable trap. They die for lack of discipline.
