    What a shock! What a damning disaster! A beautiful woman seduces a man to have sex outside marriage. Her attractiveness, flattery, and willingness overwhelm him. He cannot believe his good fortune – this exciting and erotic woman has invited him home to her bed. But her house is full of dead victims, and her guests are in the depths of hell. Solomon compared and contrasted Lady Wisdom and Lady Folly in the ninth chapter of Proverbs. He described Lady Wisdom and her offer for simple men to be protected at her house (Pr 9:1-12). He then described Lady Folly, who is a seductive whore, with her contrasting offer for the same men and their eventual total ruin due to her (Pr 9:13-18). All men face the choice often. Will you heed Lady Wisdom and stay away from worldly women and the things pertaining to them? Or will you walk away from her offer to test the pleasures of sin for a season with a whorish woman? The choice is yours, but God has determined the consequences (Heb 13:4). Reject wisdom, and you die (Pr 9:11-12,18). There are two deaths you can die. There are two hells in which you can suffer. Fornicators and adulterers get all four. Fools that go after a strange woman – one they have not rightly married – do not see any of the four judgments coming. They are enthralled by a beautiful woman and go ignorantly to their horrible punishment. It is the painful deceit of sexual pleasure outside marriage that this proverb warns against. The context here is the seduction of men by foolish and whorish women (Pr 9:13-18). The lesson is simple and obvious: men are blinded by the lusts of their eyes and flesh, and they do not see the death and hell that are certain consequences for sexual sin. The beauty, flattery, and promised pleasures of a woman stupefy their heart, soul, and mind from considering the terrible results of intimacy with any other than their lawful wife. Wise men look for what does not readily meet the eye or cross the mind. Fools only see what is in front of them. Another woman will always look good; her alluring words will always sound good; her new kisses will always taste good; and she, in conspiracy with the devil and your heart, offers pleasures that surely will be good. But the victim does not know that those who visited her before are dead and in hell (Pr 2:16-20; 5:5; 7:27). Look! The fool does not know the dead are there. The first death is soul death – the loss of integrity, peace, reputation, and virtue (Pr 5:9-10). Instead, you are now plagued with fear, frustration, guilt, and shame. This is not physical death; it is worse. It is a living death, where heart and soul die to God, joy, life, and righteousness. Solomon wrote, “Whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul” (Pr 6:32). This is soul death (Lu 15:24; I Tim 5:6; Jas 5:19-20). The fool does not know the dead are there. The other death is physical death. Hard living with whores shortens life as the Bible declares and experience confirms (Pr 2:18-19; 5:5; 7:27). Sinful living reduces the longevity of many modern actors, athletes, and performers, even ignoring sexual diseases. If capital punishment for these sins were enforced, it would shorten their lives that much more. Then there is God’s judgment on such men, for He will certainly punish whoremongers and adulterers (Heb 13:4). The fool does not know her guests are in the depths of hell. The first hell is a dysfunctional and painful life in this world. This is the hell that appropriate corporal punishment can keep a child out of (Pr 23:13-14). This is the hell of lost jobs, divorces, insecurity, ruined families, troubled children, squandered money, lost time, broken hearts, constant lying, sexual diseases, angry spouses, and so forth. The short-term pleasures of illicit love never compensate adequately for the rest of your life in this hell (Pr 5:9).

    Do you care about your future? Before you is an appeal to consider a matter, for your future prosperity depends on it. Do you resent being called a child, if it is Lady Wisdom speaking? You should not, for without her wisdom you are as ignorant as a child. Those who listen to her and keep her advice will be blessed with happiness and success. When you see “therefore” in a sentence, you should ask the question, “What is the ‘therefore,’ there for?” This word is used to draw conclusions from what has already been written, and it is your interpretive duty to find the connection. In this case, Lady Wisdom is summarizing your need for wisdom by the benefits she had already listed. Solomon personified wisdom as a woman in Proverbs 8 to get your attention by creative and direct language. She first introduced herself, her purpose, and the value of wisdom (Pr 8:1-10). She then listed numerous benefits of wisdom for individuals and nations (Pr 8:11-21). After that, she described how God used wisdom in the creation of the world (Pr 8:22-31). Finally, she summarized her appeal with a persuasive conclusion (Pr 8:32-36). Bowing to theological speculators, most commentators presume that Jesus the eternal Son of God is calling His sheep in this text. Most readers will not even comprehend this confusion, which is good. The female speaking in the chapter is wisdom personified, not a feminine form of the Son of God by some mysterious process of eternal generation. Back to the lesson! How well do you hearken, or listen? Some sit quietly and words go in one ear or eye and out the other. They love to daydream or doze. They leave a book or teacher without learning a thing, and their lives never improve. Others strain for every word, and they go away considering soberly (Pr 2:1-9; Ps 1:1-3; Acts 17:11; I Thes 5:21). Hearing and thinking about something means little. You must change your life by what you hear in order for it to profit you. This is crucial. Every proverb, sermon, or passage of scripture should affect your life. The Bible is the only inspired and preserved book of wisdom on earth. Only those who obey it will succeed (Jas 1:21-25; Matt 7:21-27). God’s wisdom only benefits those who keep it. “More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward” (Ps 19:10-11). “But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed” (Jas 1:25). Jesus, the wise man greater than Solomon, said, “Take heed therefore how ye hear” (Luke 8:18; 11:31). Why? Because God severely judges those who reject His offer of wisdom – He will take away what understanding you think you have, and He will laugh as you face the calamities of life without it (Pr 1:20-32). Such fools love death (Pr 8:36). Jesus warned of three primary threats to learning wisdom. First, you do not pray, prepare, concentrate, or review what is taught. Second, you are too fearful and weak to stand against the persecution and resistance of others. Third, you are too infatuated with this world’s illusions, and its cares choke out any progress in your life (Luke 8:11-14). How attentive and eager have you been reading this proverb and its commentary? Beware!

    What did Samson and Solomon have in common? They could not resist whorish women. Are men stronger than women? Yes, ordinarily. No, when the woman is an adulteress. Here is the wise Preacher’s warning about the danger of the strange woman – a woman other than your wife, especially a woman with a whorish heart (Pr 7:1-27). Solomon, a wise father, soberly warned his son about the temptation and danger of a loose woman (Pr 7:1-5,24-27). After describing her seduction of a foolish young man in a lengthy parable (Pr 7:6-23), he summarized the grave danger of going near such a woman two ways – her power over men is great (Pr 7:26), and the results are fatal (Pr 7:26-27). Adam and Eve taught a sober lesson in Eden (Gen 2:18-25; 3:1-6). Though Adam was made first and Eve was his helper, he could not resist her request to eat the forbidden fruit (Gen 3:12). Satan’s lie to Eve did not deceive Adam, but he weakly submitted to his naked wife over God and His commandment (Gen 2:16-17; I Tim 2:14). And Satan has used women to seduce men ever since, whether married or not (Job 2:9; I Kgs 11:1-11). By wise design, God made the woman’s body, flattering speech, physical contact, and eagerness for intimacy to powerfully attract men. Used properly in marriage, it results in the great pleasures of the Song of Solomon. Used outside marriage, only a few men can resist the powerful temptation. As the proverb declares, “Many strong men have been slain by her.” The only sure way to avoid adultery is to stay far from her (Pr 7:6-8,25). Women have altered nations by seducing their leaders. Consider Cleopatra. This conniving adulteress stole Egypt’s throne and undermined Rome’s by seducing Julius Caesar, and then she destroyed the general Mark Antony by adultery as well. These men, renowned for courage, leadership, and strength, were soft putty in her lying embraces. But there was Joseph, who resisted the repeated advances of Potiphar’s wife, to eventually rule Egypt, second only to Pharaoh (Gen 39:7-12). Though never having the strength of Samson or killing a giant like David, Joseph is a greater hero. And the Lord Jesus Christ, tempted in all points as any man, was without sin His entire life (Heb 4:15). What will adultery cost? You will be wounded and slain! Delilah took Samson to an early grave of ignominy and shame. Bathsheba cost David enormously the rest of his life. And pagan women from other nations ruined Solomon’s life and dynasty. Adultery is not the exciting diversion the world claims; adultery is a painful hell and death (Pr 7:27). How can men defeat the adulteress? They cannot go near her, because they do not have the strength to resist. They must avoid her altogether. She has four wiles: looks, flattery, touch, and willingness. Reject pornography, coed swimming, and immodestly clothed women. Reject flirting, phoning, texting, or email liaisons. Reject dancing, embracing, or other physical contact with another woman. And never allow personal or intimate conversation or opportunity where her willingness for sin can be communicated. Good wives grasp the power they have and use it to please their husbands and win peace in their marriages and homes (Song 8:6-7; I Cor 7:1-5). And they rejoice in the wonderful pleasure themselves (Song 1:1-2; 2:3-7; 3:4-5; 5:9-16; 8:1-4). They will use their looks, romantic words, physical caresses, and initiate lovemaking to promote romance at home to save their husbands from whorish women (Pr 5:19-20; I Cor 7:1-5; Heb 13:4). There is another whore in the Bible. The great whore of Revelation 17, which is the false Church of Rome and the churches that came from her. She has also cast down many wounded, and many strong men have been destroyed by her false doctrine and abominable practices. The way to safety is the same – stay far away from her, and find a true church of Jesus Christ where you can meet, worship, and serve in apostolic purity.
