“A Fool Astray”
“A Fool Astray”
Blessings folk!
Father now asks a question of his sons related to all that has been said about the adulteress.
Pro 5:20-23
For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an adulteress,
And embrace the breasts of a foreigner?
For the ways of everyone are before the eyes of the LORD,
And He observes all his paths.
His own wrongdoings will trap the wicked,
And he will be held by the ropes of his sin.
He will die for lack of instruction,
And in the greatness of his foolishness he will go astray.
Father had just told his sons to be exhilarated…to be intoxicated…by the wife of their youth.
Now father drives home the point with a question.
Why be exhilarated with an adulteress?
Why embrace the breasts of a foreigner?
There is no reason.
There is no purpose.
There is extreme outcome.
Remember…
- the ways of everyone are before the eyes of the Lord
- the Lord observes all our paths.
- the Lord knows.
One who chooses the path of the adulteress…
- will be trapped by his wickedness
- will be held by the ropes of his sin
- will die for lack of instruction
- will go astray due to the greatness of his foolishness
Be not a wicked fool.
