going with the flow

When it comes to giving into sin, you can do one of two things: go with the flow, and spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder, or avoid it and live in peace all your days.

Proverbs 5:7–14 (HCSB)
(Speaking if the forbidden woman or seductress:)
 7 So now, my sons, listen to me,
and don’t turn away from the words of my mouth.
8 Keep your way far from her.
Don’t go near the door of her house.
9 Otherwise, you will give up your vitality to others
and your years to someone cruel;
10 strangers will drain your resources,
and your earnings will end up in a foreigner’s house.
11 At the end of your life, you will lament
when your physical body has been consumed,
12 and you will say, “How I hated discipline,
and how my heart despised correction.
13 I didn’t obey my teachers
or listen closely  to my mentors.
14 I am on the verge of complete ruin
before the entire community.”
