“Groaning in the End”
“Groaning in the End”
Blessings folk!
Father continues warning son/sons about the adulteress.
Give close attention to what is said.
Pro 5:7-14
Now then, my sons, listen to me
And do not turn away from the words of my mouth.
Keep your way far from her,
And do not go near the door of her house,
Otherwise you will give your vigor to others,
And your years to the cruel one;
And strangers will be filled with your strength,
And your hard-earned possessions will go to the house of a foreigner;
And you will groan in the end,
When your flesh and your body are consumed;
And you say, “How I hated instruction!
And my heart disdainfully rejected rebuke!
“I did not listen to the voice of my teachers,
Nor incline my ear to my instructors!
“I was almost in total ruin
In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”
Father is telling sons to not give the vigor/strength/stamina/reproduction of youth to others.
Do not give your years to the cruel one.
Otherwise the outcome will be as described…
- groaning in the end
- flesh/body consumed
- awareness of the mistake of hating instruction/rebuke/listening to teachers
- almost being in total ruins in the midst of the assembly and congregation.
In front of God and everybody!
Note the word of hope…”almost”…
Reject the path of the adulteress.
Receive and walk in the path of righteousness.
