“Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:”
Proverbs 5:9 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 5:9
Give not your honor to others nor your years to the cruel. Sexual immorality surrenders dignity and consumes life. The Hebrew 'hod' (honor/splendor) and 'akzari' (cruel/fierce) describe what's lost and who profits. Adultery degrades the adulterer while enriching exploitative partners. Sin robs us of what's valuable and delivers us to what's destructive. Folly is transaction where we lose everything valuable for nothing of worth.
