15 So I came out to meet you;
I looked for you and have found you!
16 I have covered my bed
with colored linens from Egypt.
17 I have perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
Proverbs Club Commentary
The adulteress has prepared her bed
with colored linens and fine perfumes.
She then goes out to capture her prey.
1 My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor,
if you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,
2 you have been trapped by what you said,
ensnared by the words of your mouth.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Providing collateral or pledging a vow for others
shackles you with your own words.
6 She gives no thought to the way of life;
her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.
Proverbs Club Commentary
An adulteress is not bothered
by her indiscriminate behavior.
26 Give careful thought to the paths for your feet
and be steadfast in all your ways.
27 Do not turn to the right or the left;
keep your foot from evil.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Contemplate your straight and narrow path
and avoid evil on your journey.
27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
when it is in your power to act.
Proverbs Club Commentary
If you can support others who deserve support,
then support them NOW.
