Stolen waters ( Romans 6 v 23 )

In Proverbs 9 v 17 - 18, we read ,'Stolen water is sweet, food eaten in secret is delicious. But little do they know that the dead are there'.The context of these verses are in relation to a person being enticed by a loose woman, the verses we read points out the folly of  yielding to this temptation/. The comments from one of my commentaries , reads,'The harlot appeals to this depraved instinct in man....But she doesn't tell them the other side of the story.'.Let us always remember there is a price in relation to sin,one cannot touch fire without being burnt'. A very popular French song of the past century reads,'Love's pleasure lasts only for a night; Loves chagrin ( Shame ) lasts for lifetime'.Much of what we watch on T V, in movies etc,don't show  the consequences  of those stolen waters,again let me stress there will always be consequences, all sin is an affront to God,unforgiven  sin has awful eternal consequences,plus the pain in the here and  now.
