“To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life” (Proverbs 6:24-26 KJV).
Here is what verses 21-24 will do for you: Keep the commandments, they will lead you, guide you, and speak to you to guard you from the evil woman. In verse 24, we want to watch out for her lips, and in verse 25 lust not after her beauty, and stay away from her eyelids, or look. She will trap the fool with her lips, her looks, and her look.
Do you know what gets most men with that look? “For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life” (Proverbs 6:26 KJV).
What is it about a woman’s look that attracts a man? “My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death” (Job 16:16 KJV). Ladies need to watch out for that eye-makeup. There is something about that that attracts the look of a man. The Bible calls it the “shadow of death.” It is “eye shadow,” isn’t it?
Look out for her lips, for her looks, and for her look, “for by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.”
Honestly, when a woman is wearing a lot of makeup, more than she needs, men are likely to think of her as a whore.
To be brought to a piece of bread speaks of poverty. This adulteress (verse 29 shows that she is married) is looking like a hunter for the precious life. Maybe the man thinks it is love (it’s really nothing more than lust), but this woman is obviously only seeking a conquest. She isn’t looking for cash, she is looking for precious life.
One problem in America is that women have been exposed to whores so much on their Televisions that they often take upon themselves their characteristics without even giving it much thought, so they dress like, talk like, walk like, and act like the character they identify with on their favorite TV program.
The Bible says that a drunkard and a glutton will be brought to poverty, but not only them, but also the man that fools around with the wrong kind of a woman. If you were to talk to the men living in rescue missions and asked them how they got there, many would say liquor, and many will say, a woman.
If anyone would like to be added to the ping list, please let me know either by post or by p.m.
