from the adulteress with her smooth words,
17 who forsakes the companion of her youth
and forgets the covenant of her God;Proverbs 5:18

and rejoice in the wife of your youth,Proverbs 6:32
32 He who commits adultery lacks sense;
he who does it destroys himself.Proverbs 12:4
4 An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.Proverbs 18:22
22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing
and obtains favor from the LORD.Proverbs 19:14
14 House and wealth are inherited from fathers,
but a prudent wife is from the LORD.Proverbs 31:23

when he sits among the elders of the land.Proverbs 21:19
19 It is better to live in a desert land
than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.Proverbs 26:21
21 As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,
so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.Proverbs 20:3

but every fool will be quarreling.Proverbs 30:18–19

four I do not understand:

the way of a serpent on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
and the way of a man with a virgin.The Holy Bible, English Standard Version copyright (c)2001 by Crossway Bibles, a division of Good News Publishers. Used by permission. All rights reserved. http://www.esv.org
