Warning Against Adultery - Proverbs 4-6

A Father’s Wise Instruction

[25] Let your eyes look directly ahead And [even] let your eyelids be fixed straight in front of you.
[Pro 4:25 LSB]

[1] "I have cut a covenant with my eyes; How then could I gaze at a virgin?

[Job 31:1 LSB]

 

Warning Against Adultery

[18] Let your fountain be blessed, And be glad in the wife of your youth. 

[19] [As] a loving hind and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be intoxicated always with her love. 

[Pro 5:18-19 LSB]

Practical Warnings

[16] There are six things which Yahweh hates, Even seven which are an abomination to Him: 

[17] Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, 

[18] A heart that devises wicked thoughts, Feet that hasten to run to evil, 

[19] A false witness [who] breathes out lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers. 

[Pro 6:16-19 LSB]

Warning Against Adultery

[20] My son, observe the commandment of your father And do not abandon the law of your mother; [21] Bind them continually on your heart; Tie them around your neck. 

[22] When you walk about, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep watch over you; And when you awake, they will speak to you. 

[Pro 6:20-22 LSB]
