Obeying Wisdom and Insite
Proverbs 7:4-5
4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
and to insight, “You are my relative.”
5 They will keep you from the adulterous woman,
from the wayward woman with her seductive words.
New International Version (NIV)
PCDC Commentary
Obeying wisdom and insite
will guard you from adultery.
1 My son, keep my words
and store up my commands within you.
2 Keep my commands and you will live;
guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
3 Bind them on your fingers;
write them on the tablet of your heart.

24 Now then, my sons, listen to me;
pay attention to what I say.
25 Do not let your heart turn to her ways
or stray into her paths.
26 Many are the victims she has brought down;
her slain are a mighty throng.
27 Her house is a highway to the grave,
leading down to the chambers of death.
PCDC Commentary
Listen and pay attention.
Do not become a victim of the adulteress.

Proverbs 7:14-20
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!
16
I have covered my bed
with colored linens from Egypt.
17
I have perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
18
Come, let’s drink deeply of love till morning;
let’s enjoy ourselves with love!
19
My husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey.
20
He took his purse filled with money
and will not be home till full moon.”
PCdc Commentary
Well, I fulfilled my vows today,
so I have plenty of food for us.
My husband is gone until the next full moon,
and I am prepared to “enjoy ourselves with love”.
