Proverb 7 (NKJV)
The Wiles of a Harlot
01 My son, keep my words,
00 And treasure my commands within you.
02 Keep my commands and live,
00 And my law as the apple of your eye.
03 Bind them on your fingers;
00 Write them on the tablet of your heart.
04 Say to wisdom, "You are my sister,";
00 And call understanding your nearest kin,
05 That they may keep you from the immoral woman,
00 From the seductress who flatters with her words.
The Crafty Harlot
06 For at the window of my house
00 I looked through my lattice,
07 And saw among the simple,
00 I perceived among the youths,
00 A young man devoid of understanding,
08 Passing along the street near her corner;
00 And he took the path to her house
09 In the twilight, in the evening,
00 In the black and dark night.
10 And there a woman met him,
00 With the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart.
11 She was loud and rebellious,
00 Her feet would not stay at home.
12 At times she was outside, at times in the open square,
00 Lurking at every corner.
13 So she caught him and kissed him;
00 With an impudent face she said to him:
14 "I have peace offerings with me;
00 Today I have paid my vows.
15 So I came out to meet you,
00 Diligently to seek your face,
00 And I have found you.
16 I have spread my bed with tapestry,
00 Colored coverings of Egyptian linen.
17 I have perfumed my bed
00 With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until morning;
00 Let us delight ourselves with love.
19 For my husband is not at home;
00 He has gone on a long journey;
20 He has taken a bag of money with him,
00 And will come home on the appointed day.";
21 With her enticing speech she caused him to yield,
00 With her flattering lips she seduced him.
22 Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter,
00 Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,
23 Till an arrow struck his liver.
00 As a bird hastens to the snare,
00 He did not know it would cost his life.
24 Now therefore, listen to me, my children;
00 Pay attention to the words of my mouth:
25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways,
00 Do not stray into her paths;
26 For she has cast down many wounded,
00 And all who were slain by her were strong men.
27 Her house is the way to hell,
00 Descending to the chambers of death.
O have a job interview at 7:00 this morning, and I need to get the dogs fed walked and take a shower.
God bless you all.
Greetings,
Thank you for posting proverbs 7.
01 My son, keep my words,
00 And treasure my commands within you.
02 Keep my commands and live,
00 And my law as the apple of your eye.
I began keeping the 7th day sabbath a little over 22 years ago. I cannot look back and am grateful to the Almighty for showing me the way.
I pray that you also find the blessings of setting apart the sabbath, thereby seeing how the Holy Scriptures open up to you as though a great veil had been lifted.
Peace
Yahshua claimed to be YHWH.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Yahushua said unto them, Verily,verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Yahushua hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
(Joh 8:56-59)
Yahshua said, keep my commandments. He promised to send to an individual the Holy Spirit if they would do it.
If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
(Joh 14:15-18)
The sabbath is on the 7th day of the week. It has never been changed and keeping it, guarding it as commanded to us brings a bountiful harvest of blessings.
> It’s a SIGN (TOKEN) of the PERPETUAL covenant (Agreement) you have entered with the Almighty.
> It has no expiration date. (perpetual covenant)
> Almighty God wrote these words with His own finger in stone. He never changes and He never changed the commandments.
Mal 3:6 For I am YHWH, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying, Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am YHWH that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is set-apart unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, set-apart to YHWH: whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of Elohim.
(Exo 31:12-18)
Prayers for your interview offered.
Prayers that it goes well for you, brother.
The warnings remind me of an oldie hit song from the Animals - The House of the Rising Sun
By the way, I did put up a fb posting about the history of the song along with sharing the youtube video of the birds singing it.
It’s actually a very old traditional folk song that has been around over 100 years and recorded many times in many ways.
Song hit a chord with me. But thank God, we have a God of Second Chances. And He redeems.
