Proverbs 5:21 in Context — Proverbs 5

19 [Seja ela] uma cerva amorosa e gazela graciosa; que os seios dela te fartem em todo tempo; e anda pelo caminho do amor dela continuamente.

20 E por que tu, filho meu, andarias perdido pela estranha, e abraçarias o peito da [mulher] alheia?

21 Pois os caminhos do homem estão perante os olhos do SENHOR; e ele pondera todos os seus percursos.

22 O perverso será preso pelas suas [próprias] perversidades; e será detido pelas cordas de seu [próprio] pecado.

23 Ele morrerá pela falta de correção; e andará sem rumo pela grandeza de sua loucura.
