Proverbs 7:24-27 Now then, my sons, listen to me; pay attention to what I say. 25) Do not let your heart turn to her ways or s into her paths. 26) Many are the victims she has brought down, her slain are a mighty throng. 27) Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers of death.

Here, again, is a warning not to go in unto a harlot.

The appropriate application of this drama is made in the admonition of these verses to avoid her deadly seduction.

A wise heart would not fall into this trap. This is just a warning to stay away from this evil woman. You would have to decline to get to her, for her place is in hell.

It is not just the weak men who fall, but strong men in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong thoughts for the wrong reasons.

Paid adulteresses have ruined many lives. There are many men whose lives have been totally destroyed by visiting this type woman.

There is no heavenly home for these women or the men they trick unless they repent and turn from their wicked ways. Death and destruction await her and her victims.

Proverbs 3:30 Do not accuse a man for no reason-when he has done you no harm

This verse implies that there is a time for fighting.  Injustice must be combatted, sin resisted, and evil confronted wherever it appears.  But do not waste time and energy on needless fights, arguing about trivial matters or personal inconvenience.  Save your energy for the real battles against sin and God’s enemies. 

Proverbs 5:23 – For a man’s ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all his paths.

You cannot hide from God. He knows every move you make. He even knows the desires of your heart. God thinks about (ponders), all the ways of man. In mercy, the Lord withholds immediate judgment, allowing a sinner time to repent or to be caught in his own sin.

There is a song called “The All Seeing Eye”. God is that all Seeing Eye. You cannot keep any secrets from Him. There is a record being kept, and someday the books will be opened. If we have lived in sin, we shall be ashamed to stand before God.

Proverbs 4:26 Watch the path of your feet, and all your ways will be established.

Think about the path you are launching out on. Make sure that the path you are heading out on leads to righteousness. Do not despair of the path you have chosen. Make your path straight. Things of the world must not attract you off this path. Stay on the straight path that will lead you to heaven.

God calls us to stay spiritually alert at all times, and that includes taking regular inventory of our lives’ directions

 PSALM.139:23, 24 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting. 

Proverbs 3:29 Do not devise harm against your neighbor, while he lives securely beside you.

We should not live in strife and fussing but should learn to live peaceably with all men. If we live for the Lord, we are promised that even our enemies will be at peace with us. This does not say that there is never a time for strife. If your enemy attacks you, you may defend yourself; but you must not start strife nor keep it going.  

Proverbs 2:21-22For the upright will live in the land And the blameless will remain in it 22 But the wicked will be cut off from the land And the treacherous will be uprooted from it.

“Dwell in the land … remain”: Exactly opposite to those who live in sexual sin and are headed for death, those who belong to the Lord will live.

(In Psalms we read); 

Psalms 37:29 “The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.”

We have seen over and over how the wicked will be driven off the land. Canaan became the land of Israel because the wicked were driven out. 

The Christians shall reign 1000 years with Jesus.

Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

Proverbs 2:20 So you will walk in the way of good men And keep to the paths of the righteous.

The word “will” in this verse lets us know that it is our choice. It is our decision to live the way of the world or to live for the Lord Jesus. Our free will determines which. This is a decision no one else can make for you. You must decide life or death.

Proverbs 29:25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trust in the LORD is kept safe.

Fear is lack of faith. If we have faith in the Lord, we have nothing to fear. To fear man and what he can do to you is sin. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and He shall give you peace and rest

Proverbs 28:23 He who rebukes a man will in the end gain more favor than he who has a flattering tongue.

We see in this a spiritual rebuke of a person who is slipping away from God. A backslider who is helped back to God will thank you for it later.

Someone who flatters with the tongue and says everything is okay can do you great harm. Flattery has no value but reproof does, so it leads to gratitude.

Truth is always the best rule.

Proverbs 28:24 “He who robs his father or his mother And says, “It is not a transgression,” Is the companion of a man who destroys.”

This man is not only a robber but is a robber of his own flesh and blood. Thieves can think of good excuses, but there is no reason to rob.

To plunder one’s own family is an unthinkable crime, but it is worst yet when denied. This person not only destroys his parents’ living by taking their material goods but breaks their hearts as well. He is not a builder, he is a destroyer.
