Proverbs 4-6

4 - Like Solomon was instructed by David as a child, he instructs his son with these sayings. Seek wisdom and understanding, and stay away from the ways of the wicked and deceitful.

5 - To Solomon’s son he says run away from those who would entice you to evil, and be happy with the wife of your youth. All who waste themselves following after sinful lusts will regret it in the end.

6 - Avoid guaranteeing the loans of another person, as you will come to regret it. To avoid poverty, copy the industriousness of the ant, and banish laziness from your life. The Lord hates the pride of the wicked, who lie and hurt others. It is just stupid to sin with the spouse of another person, and nothing but pain will come from it.
