Discuss Proverbs 23 Page 2

You can google some commentaries on this. My 2 minute take: whores are unstable; stay a away from people who devalue things that God meant to be good and within the bond of marriage.

a deep ditch you will will not get out of , a narrow pit you may have yet a chance.

''For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.''

How do I interpret this?

Verse 15-This verse shows that we have the opportunity to make God's heart glad. What we do or don't do doesn't go unnoticed by Jehovah God.

This is one of God's law that we are supposed to honor, but people these days are so opposed to his laws and commandments because people have moved further away from God.

wine is a mockery and strong drink is raging and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. ( Proverbs 20:1) Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. ( Proverbs 23:31-33) who can take a rattle snake in their home and feel safe? In the end we are putting ourselves in danger. We only have to look at the drug, alcohol and wine world today to understand the danger of strong drink. They did call Jesus a winebibber, but they also said he cast out devils by the prince of devils who is Beelzebub. Jesus said that Satan was a liar. ( John 8:44) Jesus was neither, Satan lied.

Amen Amen Amen

27 a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.

28 She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.

Old saying: "Sin will take you FARTHER than you wanted to go; KEEP you longer than you

wanted to stay, and COST you more than you wanted to pay." That is the true nature of sin.

Verse 23: to obtain the truth found in God’s Word it takes hard work and sacrifice.

The Bible Proverbs 23:4 doesn't oppose hardwork. It rather wisely advice us not to stretch ourselves beyond limit in quest for wealthy else, one may worn out, becomes greedy, a miser, and above all one may have little or no time for God. It's important to note that it's not hardwork though it's a requirement that brings riches, but God's favour and opportunities Ecclesistes 9:11 .

"Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. Consider if you strive all your life to make money and never have time for your kids and family, they will suffer and so will you. Because all the money in the world can not make up for time and love.

Verse 20: The Bible condemns drunkenness so it is important to be moderate in our use of alcohol.

Proverbs 23
10-27
Summary: In the depths of the "Earth" the wicked is awaken in the "Eyes" of the wicked comes the sins of the "World". Casting out their deadly holds, the "World" becomes a new on the "Back" of the new "Son". Counting amoung your "Peers" holds the secrets of tomorrow. Proverbs 23_ 10-27

Very interesting verse, and for a long time contemplated on how one would "buy the truth". One day my understanding was opened! Praise the LORD!! In the world one buys things with the coin of the world, which is money. So how does one "buy the truth"? It is bought with the "coin of life", which is time. The precious time that we are afforded by our Creator to use wisely and study His WORD. We "buy" the truth, instruction , and understanding by taking the time to study Scripture.

20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:

This is wrong

I too have sin of gluttony. Andrea I hear you loud and clear. I always have to remember physically that my stomach is only as big as my fist. And that is what I try to remember when I eat anything. As long as we have enough food to fill that you can control eating and most of all talk with the Lord before during and after. Remember Your body belongs to the Lord. :) Not the devil.

first try to accept we are human and not perfect. So when fears creep in call on God. Be as patient as you can and let God handle the situation in his time and not yours.

For Andrea: I will keep you in prayer. Believe and know that your life is changing now!

God bless you!

PROVERBS IS A AWESAME EXPERIENCE TEACHING OF A HOLY LIFE . to have faith in mind and soul ,having a full assurerance of faight having our hearts sprinkled from evil conscience . blessed be tha name our father.

I was led here because of the sin of gluttony or overeating. It's a sin that I've been plagued with since childhood. It's a sin many Christians endure, yet many preachers aren't talking about this severe sin at their pulpits. I can attest that gluttony brings poverty. The spirit of poverty is upon my family, I'm constantly tired, and I dress in same clothes daily. Please pray for me,

Buy the truth, and sell it not; be willing to part with any thing for it. Do not part with it for pleasures, honours, riches, or any thing in this world. The heart is what the great God requires. We must not think to divide the heart between God and the world; he will have all or none. Look to the rule of God's word, the conduct of his providence, and the good examples of his people.

nothing can hinder God children from achieve their gold in life

the thoughts he thinks in his heart speaks of him of how he is

Im going through serious medical issues and proverbs 23 6 7 is exactly what I needed to clarify things.

God is always willing to supply all your needs, forget what you might be going through at the particular moment and thank Him that there is an End

Wow!very awesome!this is pure wisdom.reading proverbs is an daily requirement for my children. You can 't go wrong sharing this with your children, It backs up what we are supposed to be teaching them.They may not believe us all the time but Surely they will fear the word of God as this proverb tells us .leaving the child alone will only make them woarse and hell bound.

This scripture is life to me when I felt defeated!

God wants all of our heart or none at all.Sin is forbidden,the woman caught in adultery,Jesus didnt ridicule her he didnt look down on her.Jesus told her go your way and sin no more.Sin stinks in Gods nostrils,he cant work fully in u until u get sin out of ur life.Help us Lord to rid all sin thats in us,help us to seek u Lord ur righteousness,lead us and guide us, everything thats in us thats not like u Lord rid us of it Lord. Either make the tree good are make it evil. U cant serve two masters either ur gone to hate one and love the other.

Praise God brother and sister when we stop and start listen to God o what a different our life become. thats when we really start living our lives when we allow Jesus in and receives his Holy Ghost who will leave and guide us to all truth Amen

It s not wise to wear ourselves out trying to become rich. As the Bible shows, material wealth can disappear quickly. It may vanish overnight because of a natural disaster, an economic slump, or other unforeseen occurrences.
