18 Surely her house leads down to death
and her paths to the spirits of the dead.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Without a doubt, the house and the path
of the adulteress leads to death and hell.
If you are an adulterer, confess and repent.
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
Wisdom can shield you from the cheating, godless adulteress.
12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,
from men whose words are perverse,
13 who have left the straight paths
to walk in dark ways,
14 who delight in doing wrong
and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
15 whose paths are crooked
and who are devious in their ways.
Proverbs Club Commentary
The Wicked:
Wicked Words, Wicked Walks, Wicked Ways.
Wisdom keeps the righteous on the straight and narrow.
9 Then you will understand what is right and just
and fair—every good path.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11 Discretion will protect you,
and understanding will guard you.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Wisdom brings
knowledge, understanding and discretion
to your heart and soul to protect you.
7 He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
8 for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.
NIV
Proverbs Club Commentary
The Lord insures success and
protection for the righteous
because they are upright,
blameless, just, and faithful.
