teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.
NIV
Proverbs Club Commentary
Perceptive guidance strengthens the righteous.
27 I was there when he set the heavens in place,
when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
28 when he established the clouds above
and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
29 when he gave the sea its boundary
so the waters would not overstep his command,
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
NIV
Proverbs Club Commentary
The Lord set the heavens in place,
and the deep, and the clouds, and the sea,
and the foundations of the earth.
And He used Wisdom to secure it.
13 She took hold of him and kissed him
and with a brazen face she said:
14 “Today I fulfilled my vows,
and I have food from my fellowship offering at home.
15 So I came out to meet you;
I looked for you and have found you!”
NIV
Proverbs Club Commentary
The adulteress found her fool,
hugged and kissed him,
and invited him to her home to eat.

and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
35 He will not accept any compensation;
he will refuse a bribe, however great it is.
NIV

of the adulteress’ husband.

her steps lead straight to the grave.
