Day 131 – Proverbs Chapter 2:16-22

Published: Jan. 17, 2016, 4 p.m.

In these verses, a woman tries to tempt a man. Deuteronomy 5 lists 10 commands that God gave. One command was, "Do not have sex with someone else's wife or husband," Deuteronomy 5:18. The woman in the Book of Proverbs refuses to follow this command. A man who goes to her is in danger.

Solomon is teaching us about other wrong actions. Sometimes wrong actions are attractive. Sometimes evil thoughts tempt us. Sometimes we might think that God’s law is not fair. Perhaps the man likes the woman. However, he must not go to her.
