Proverbs 5:9-11
If you do, you will lose your honor to other people. You will give your self- respect to someone who is mean.Strangers will use up all your wealth. Your hard work will make someone else rich.At the end of your life you will groan. Your skin and your body will be worn out.

Delilah got Samson to go to sleep on her lap. Then she called for someone to shave off the seven braids of his hair. That’s how she began to bring Samson under her control. And he wasn’t strong anymore.She called out,“ Samson! The Philistines are attacking you!” He woke up from his sleep. He thought,“ I’ll go out just as I did before. I’ll shake myself free.” But he didn’t know that the Lord had left him.Then the Philistines grabbed him. They poked his eyes out. They took him down to Gaza. They put bronze chains around him. Then they made him grind grain in the prison.

Psalms 38:1-8
Lord, don’t correct me when you are angry. Don’t punish me when you are burning with anger.You have wounded me with your arrows. You have struck me with your hand.Because of your anger, my whole body is sick. Because of my sin, I’m not healthy.My guilt has become too much for me. It is a load too heavy to carry.My wounds are ugly. They stink. I’ve been foolish. I have sinned.I am bent over. I’ve been brought very low. All day long I go around weeping.My back is filled with burning pain. My whole body is sick.I am weak and feel as if I’ve been broken in pieces. I groan because of the great pain in my heart.
