With much seductive speech she persuades him; with her smooth talk she compels him. All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast till an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life.
And now, O sons, listen to me, and be attentive to the words of my mouth.
Let not your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths, for many a victim has she laid low, and all her slain are a mighty throng.
Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.
Comment: I don’t think that it can be said much more plainly than Solomon has written this, three thousand years ago! I hope that my great grandchildren are taught this sort of thing by their parents and their teachers. This is much to be preferred than ‘the woke, God-less model, of sex-education’ which is frequent in these days! Mind you it has been going on down the ages and sex is a strong, God originated, desire. But Leaders are not justified to make sex a ‘legal right’ as you begin to get the urges, and provide a safety net with free contraceptives and promoting legal murder of the unborn if an unwanted pregnancy occurs! There is no right to question what the chromosomes say, to make homosexuality a norm (as seen by political leaders marching with a mob of sexual deviants!) or to mess up young minds by Queers corrupting children’s young minds with their peculiar ideas!
Prayer: May Your teaching as given through Your written Word and Spoken by Your sent Son, when He was here on earth, become the standards of our society!
