Proverbs Study Day 18

I have not yet posted the answers for yesterdays study, I wanted to give you guys a chance to try to do the study on your own. I want to welcome Paula and Anna to our Study. Love you guys, and means so much to discuss this with you when we are working.

Today we are to read Proverbs 6:20-35
Marking adulteress, my son, and commandment in our bibles as we go.

Pro 6:20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching.
Pro 6:21 Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck.
Pro 6:22 When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you.
Pro 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,
Pro 6:24 to preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
Pro 6:25 Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;
Pro 6:26 for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts down a precious life.
Pro 6:27 Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned?
Pro 6:28 Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched?
Pro 6:29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; none who touches her will go unpunished.
Pro 6:30 People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry,
Pro 6:31 but if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house.
Pro 6:32 He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.
Pro 6:33 He will get wounds and dishonor, and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
Pro 6:34 For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge.
Pro 6:35 He will accept no compensation; he will refuse though you multiply gifts.

Get a notebook or a peice of paper and keep up with your study.

What did you learn about the adulteress?

What consequences does a man risk by assoiciating with an adulteress?

1. To instruct; to inform; to communicate to another the knowledge of that of which he was before ignorant.


I always like to get a better understanding of simple words. We often don't realize the difference of simple words like teach and commandment.

We are to keep our father's commandments, Keep his authority,command,charge. Our
father is the person in command.
We are to keep those commands, and the things our mother teaches us. Even though our Father's should be ultimate in command, it doesn't mean we don't listen and learn from our Mother. We are to learn from and respect both of our parents.

An adulteress is someone that is pleasing to the eye, and even has a good heart, she is very appealing.

The man who has an adulteress will be punished. You can play around with and think you will never have to pay the consequences. Eventually that sin is going to be called out, and eventually, one way or another you will pay the consequences of your sin.

I meant to say that you cannot play around with sin, and think you will never have to pay the consequences.
