Proverbs 5:

This bears repeating. It's something to ponder on, and be thankful for. Just like a sheep, i have a tendency to wander. And the GOOD thing, is that i have a GOOD Shepherd, Who is "watching" me and "nudges" me to guide me back to the right path. In THAT, i can "rest", as i trust in Him, to always watch me, and guide me, and to "nudge" me back on the right path.

The following stands out to me

V1
My son, pay attention to my wisdom;
listen carefully to my wise counsel.
2 Then you will show discernment,
and your lips will express what you’ve learned.

21
The ·Lord sees everything you do [L eyes of the Lord are on the path of every person],
and he watches ·where you go [L all their ways].
22 An evil man will be ·caught [captured] in his wicked ways;
the ropes of his sins will tie him up.
23 He will die ·because he does not control himself [L without discipline/instruction],
and he will be ·held captive [or intoxicated; inebriated] by his ·foolishness [stupidity].
(EXB)

I like the warning about the adulterous woman, and the contrast to "the wife of thy youth". The adulteress seems sweet on the surface (but superficial, as her lips and mouth are described). In the end, she is bitter and poison. When the wife is described, her breasts are described, indicating greater intimacy and even nourishment, and the end is being ravished with her love.

Also, there's a tendency today to demonize a man's natural appreciation for the aesthetic beauty of a woman. This passage describes how when properly channeled (i.e. the satisfaction of a man with his wife), this inbuilt appreciation is healthy and good.

Proverbs 5:3-4 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.

Proverbs 5:18-19 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

Proverbs 5:1-2 AMP
"My son, be attentive to my wisdom [godly wisdom learned by costly experience],
Incline your ear to my understanding;
That you may exercise discrimination and discretion (good judgment),
And your lips may reserve knowledge and answer wisely [to temptation]."
