mouth smoother than oil
flattering tongue (Pro 6:24)
end is bitter as wormwood
end is sharp as a twoedged sword
feet go down to death
steps take hold on hell

remove thy way far from her
come not nigh the door of her house
she takes you by her eyelids (Proverbs 6:25b)

--picture 2 (Pro 7:6-23)--

a woman with the [attire of an harlot] comes out of her house to meet a man on the corner
subtil of heart
loud
stubborn
her feet abide not in her house
stays outside in the streets
lieth in wait at every corner
will catch and kiss you
has cast down many wounded
many strong men have been slain by her
her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death
impudent face
much fair speech - causes [a man] to yield
flattery of lips forces him
[may even claim to be religious, but only as an enticement]

go not astray in her paths

  • strangers will be filled with thy wealth
  • thy labor will be in the house of a stranger
  • "how have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; and have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, not inclined mine ear unto them that instructed me!"
  • "I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly."

--picture 2 (Pro 7:6-23)--

listening to her flattery - causes/forces a person to yield
like an ox to the slaughter
like a fool to the correction of the stocks
...till a dart strike through his liver
as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

it is like taking fire into your bosom and thinking your clothes won't be burned (Pro 6:27)

comments:


Men don't despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; but if he be found, he shall give all the substance of his house.
Whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it shall destroy his own soul. A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore will he not spare in the day of vengeance. He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

wisdom is better than rubies
all the things that can be desired are not to be compared to [wisdom]
wisdom dwells with prudence
I find out knowledge of witty inventions
the fear of the Lord is to hate evil
[I hate] pride
[I hate] arrogancy
[I hate] the evil way
[I hate] the froward mouth
counsel is mine
sound wisdom [is mine]
kings reign by wisdom

princes, nobles, and all the judges of the earth rule by wisdom
[wisdom] loves them that love [wisdom]
those that seek me early shall find her
riches and honor are with me

my fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold
[my] revenue is better than choice silver
I leads in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgement: that [wisdom] may cause those that love [wisdom] to inherit substance; and [wisdom] shall fill their treasures
the LORD posessed [wisdom] in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
I was set up from the beginning, or ever the earth was
when there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water
before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth, while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world
while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world
when he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
when he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
when he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: then [wisdom] was by him, as one brought up with him: and [wisdom] was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; rejoicing in the habitable part of the earth of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men
now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways
hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not
blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
for whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD
but he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul
all that hate me love death
wisdom hath builded her house
she hath hewn out her seven pillars
she hath killed her beasts
she hath mingled her wine
she hath also furnished her table
she hath sent forth her maidens
she crieth upon the highest places of the city
whoso is simple, let him turn in hither
as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled
forsake the foolish, and live
go in the way of understanding
he that reproveth a scorner getteth himself shame
he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot
reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee
rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee
give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser
teach a just man, and he will increase in learning
the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
the knowledge of the holy is understanding
for by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased
if thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself
if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it
a foolish woman is clamourous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing. for she sitteth at the door of her house
