27 Her house is a highway to the grave,
leading down to the chambers of death.
So I guess he's saying we men are an easy target for a woman who wants to attract us so be on guard and don't take that path to death. So far he's spent quite a bit of Proverbs telling us to be faithful, i think he means it.
My friend Tom had a funny observation--
First, history records that Solomon himself had 700 wives and 300 concubines. That means that the dude could sleep with a different woman every night for roughly three years before he’d have to see the same woman twice. It seems to me if that is your reality and you’re still warning your son about being tempted by a woman who is not your wife (or concubine), you’ve got issues. I’m just saying.
thanks again for your prayers, yesterday went as smooth as one could hope.
knut
Can you imagine trying to keep 1000 women happy? I can't keep 1 happy all the time.
ReplyDeleteI love that verse that you pulled out......her house is a highway to the grave. WOW!! harsh.
It seems that in these last few chapters, the moral is all around Adultery...but not sex in general. He hasn't mentioned anything other than mixing it up with a married woman.
interesting
