Proverbs 5:21-23

The Voice

Wisdom recognizes the beauty of sexual intimacy. After all, God designed us as sexual beings. But for physical intimacy to retain the beauty of its design, it must be shared wisely. It is meant to be shared with someone who is your own. In marriage two become one (Genesis 2:24), so they belong together and belong to each other. In that safe place of belonging, one finds fulfillment. So a husband or a wife must partake only of the partner’s body and love. To seek intimacy elsewhere is foolish.

²¹You see, the Eternal sees our ways before Him.
    He watches every move we make and knows where those paths lead.
²²The wicked will be snared by their own wrongdoing.
    Their flaws will tie their own hands, and they will be dragged through life by the cords of their sins.
²³Because they have no discipline, their spirits die and their bodies will soon follow;
    because they are immensely foolish, they wander lost and confused.
