PROVERBS 5
WISDOM AVOIDS ADULTERY
This entire chapter consists of the father warning his son to stay away from adultery. The father describes the forbidden woman as having lips that drip with honey, but warns that she is bitter rather than sweet. The path of adultery leads to death, not to pleasure.
The chapter does not place blame on the woman alone and tells the man to not go near an adulterous woman’s home or seek her out. Instead, the chapter encourages the man to delight in his wife and adore only her.
STUDY QUESTIONS
- Proverbs 5 serves as a warning against adultery. How could Solomon and David both have benefitted from following this advice? (see 1 Kings 11:1-6 and 2 Samuel 11:2-4)
