Creditors, Procrastination, and Adultery

Proverbs 6:1-5 - Don't avoid creditors, do all you can to satisfy your debts immediately

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge for another, if you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth, then do this, my son, to free yourself…Go and humble yourself; press your plea with your neighbor! Allow no sleep to your eyes, no slumber to your eyelids.

Proverbs 6:6-11 - Take initiative to provide for yourself, flee procrastination
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest… A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest-and poverty will come on you like a bandit

Proverbs 6:27-29, 32 - Adultery always leads to ruin
Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned? Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched? So is he who sleeps with another man's wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.
