• Proverbs 7:6-27
  For at the window of my house
  I looked through my lattice,
  And saw among the simple,
  I perceived among the youths,
  A young man devoid of understanding,
  Passing along the street near her corner;
  And he took the path to her house
  In the twilight, in the evening,
  In the black and dark night.
  And there a woman met him,
  With the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart.
  She was loud and rebellious,
  Her feet would not stay at home.
  At times she was outside, at times in the open square,
  Lurking at every corner.
  So she caught him and kissed him;
  With an impudent face she said to him:
  " I have peace offerings with me;
  Today I have paid my vows.
  So I came out to meet you,
  Diligently to seek your face,
  And I have found you.
  I have spread my bed with tapestry,
  Colored coverings of Egyptian linen.
  I have perfumed my bed
  With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
  Come, let us take our fill of love until morning;
  Let us delight ourselves with love.
  For my husband is not at home;
  He has gone on a long journey;
  He has taken a bag of money with him,
  And will come home on the appointed day."
  With her enticing speech she caused him to yield,
  With her flattering lips she seduced him.
  Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter,
  Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,
  Till an arrow struck his liver.
  As a bird hastens to the snare,
  He did not know it would cost his life.
  Now therefore, listen to me, my children;
  Pay attention to the words of my mouth:
  Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways,
  Do not stray into her paths;
  For she has cast down many wounded,
  And all who were slain by her were strong men.
  Her house is the way to hell,
  Descending to the chambers of death.
   
• Proverbs 23:20-21
  Do not mix with winebibbers,
  Or with gluttonous eaters of meat;
  For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,
  And drowsiness will clothe a man with rags.
  
   
• Proverbs 23:1-3
  When you sit down to eat with a ruler,
  Consider carefully what is before you;
  And put a knife to your throat
  If you are a man given to appetite.
  Do not desire his delicacies,
  For they are deceptive food.
  
   
• Proverbs 23:29-31
  Who has woe?
  Who has sorrow?
  Who has contentions?
  Who has complaints?
  Who has wounds without cause?
  Who has redness of eyes?
  Those who linger long at the wine,
  Those who go in search of mixed wine.
  Do not look on the wine when it is red,
  When it sparkles in the cup,
  When it swirls around smoothly;
  
   
• Amos 6:4-7
  Who lie on beds of ivory,
  Stretch out on your couches,
  Eat lambs from the flock
  And calves from the midst of the stall;
  Who sing idly to the sound of stringed instruments,
  And invent for yourselves musical instruments like David;
  Who drink wine from bowls,
  And anoint yourselves with the best ointments,
  But are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
  Therefore they shall now go captive as the first of the captives,
  And those who recline at banquets shall be removed.

But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
