22 The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them;
the cords of their sins hold them fast.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Beware of the Wicked, but do not fear them.
They are defeated by their very behavior.

14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
or walk in the way of evildoers.
15 Avoid it, do not travel on it;
turn from it and go on your way.
Proverbs Club Commentary
There are many paths to follow.
Only the Narrow Path leads to eternal life.
All other paths lead to an ineffable demise.

9 Honor the Lord with your wealth,
with the firstfruits of all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
and your vats will brim over with new wine.
Proverbs Club Commentary
This has zero to do with your tithe;
It has to do with your gratitude.
(Much of what I say here, cuts deep.)

16 Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman,
from the wayward woman with her seductive words,
17 who has left the partner of her youth
and ignored the covenant she made before God.
Proverbs Club Commentary
The adulteress voids her marriage and her covenant with God.
Wisdom provides the ability to refuse her flirtatious offer.
