Others

Proverbs 5:9

"Lest you give your best strength to others and your years to one who is cruel"

This is written about the adulteress, the woman of sin, but I'm pretty sure there's so much more than that. 

Unforgiveness.

Bitterness.

Impurity.

Sin.

Hatred.

Jealousy.

There is no end to the cruel “others” who are more than happy to use up your strength and take your years.

We only have a few years on this earth. Be careful what you give them to.

Proverbs 5:8

"Keep to a path far from her, do not go near the door of her house."

How?

Proverbs 5:7

"Now then, my sons, listen to me; do not turn aside from what I say."

Give your best strength and all your years to following the One who is good.
