“Lamp and Light”

“Lamp and Light”

Blessings folk!

Father continues exhorting son about his commandment and the teaching of mother…

Pro 6:23
For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light;
And reproofs for discipline are the way of life

The commandment of father is a lamp to our way.
The teaching of mother is not heavy nor burdensome. It is light
The reproofs of discipline from both are the way of life.
They provide life.
They protect life.

Then, father picks up about the “wicked-city-woman” again.

Pro 6:24-26
To keep you from the evil woman,
From the smooth tongue of the adulteress.

Do not desire her beauty in your heart,
Nor let her capture you with her eyelids.

For on account of a harlot one is reduced to a loaf of bread,
And an adulteress hunts for the precious life.

The commandment and teaching will keep/protect from the evil woman.

He then tells son to beware.
To not desire her beauty “in your heart”…don’t think about it…don’t mess with the thought.
Do not let her catch your eyes.

Why?

A harlot will reduce you to a loaf of bread.
That is a picture.
Little value.
Common place.
Consumed and forgotten.

The harlot/adulteress hunts for such precious life,
Beware.
Be warned.
Behave!
