    It is talking about all women that got or display seducively i.e womans nature that is created by God is to attract,charm or seduce by his actions,words,looks etc all centers on the enticement,feelings or aro*****t of mens thoughts,capturedness,mind,soul etc.Infact man in its nature is to sin(fornication and adultery);i came to understand in christian life as it is writen"flee".God knew our weaknesses because we possess flesh and blood; but God said about agape love, that is to say we should be carefull as we are interacting with each other we should do it in the public place i.e you and woman should not be in a private place to avoid reflex action because u like yourselves.It is writen"A man cannot put fire in his bossom and expect that he wont be burn't".If a man is not carefull of it he is deceiving himself to be spiritual.And as you live you pray the holy spirit to 1engrace,2fear God,3know the word by studing it everytime,4you to be focus.John10:10 said the mission of satan is to steal,kill and destroy but in these situation it's destruction because you will be a begger and things will not go well for you etc. e.gLike the prodigal son instead of you to be an inherited king of abraham.

    @Vic,
    Verse 32, “But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.”
    Here soul simply means your personal life, it simply means your life with its feelings, emotions and passions.
    Even David got a lot of trouble after committing adultery as 2 Samuel 12:8-12 states:
    1. The sword should not depart from David’s house;
    2. His wives would be take by another man (which David’s own son Absalom) in public, and
    3. The son that was born from David’s adultery should die. And he died.
    All such troubles did only disquiet David’s soul. Because His own son Absalom went to war against Him, that David fled from his palace.
    Praise God He is merciful that He ultimately restored him in his Kingdom.
    That’s the meaning which is earthly life troubles in this verse.
    I hope this helps.
    God bless you.

    What does it mean by destroying one's soul? David committed adultery and his soul went to heaven. Are we talking about an unsaved person?

    The blessings of the living God, sometimes come disguised and many times discernment becomes necessary to recognize them. Praise God! Well, the book of Proverbs has many things that we can learn from, and this sixth chapter starts with some heavy warnings, against surety and pledges. In fact it warns about, standing as surety or as a guarantor for a friend. Then it also warns against pledges or vows, towards or in favour of a stranger. There are also other warnings, admonition, injunctions and corrections in this particular book. However, in this comment, I think it is appropriate that we look at the issue of surety and pledges. Really, there is nothing particularly wrong about being a surety or making pledges. However, it is appropriate that we understand that they are issues of seriousness. That demands carefulness and prayers. The fact is that in the world of business and commerce, surety or standing, as a guarantor for somebody are things of regular occurrences, and yet God, in His infinite wisdom through Solomon issues warnings against it. Really, in business, when surety or guarantees are given in support of say a business loan to an individual or to an entity, the party giving the guarantee, must have something in terms of capital or financial asset to support it, and that is, in case of default of the other party. And that means the guarantor, prior to that, must have been sure of the integrity and faithfulness of the person asking for guarantee. These warnings become important because it talks about a friend. In fact, it is like, it directs, a potential guarantor to look at things properly, and, not take things for granted, and also to advise and counsel his friend to buckle up. And that he should learn to trust God for his needs. When looked at properly, it did not talk about, a family member, but a friend, so also it refers to a pledge to stranger, and that, it is a trap in disguise. The truth is be it surety or pledges, both are issues that one must be very wise and careful about. And if we found ourselves involved in anything like surety or pledges that we’ve been corned into, then we can humbly and speedily find a way to deliver and free ourselves from it. Also, in particular, we should ask God, for wisdom and how to deal with it. In addition to these, pledges are regular occurrences, in fact in the Church, and sometimes, a person may be carried away with the environment and despite the fact that he may not at that moment, have at his disposal what he can use to meet it, he simply plunges into it. God is love and we that belong to Him through Jesus Christ, are, obliged to love Him wholeheartedly and also to love one another as He has loved us. There is no fear in love and perfect love cast out all fear. The warnings, in this opening statement of Proverbs 6, are something that we should and must take on board. God is a wonderful God- and He only reveals His mysteries to the humble, and no matter what, wisdom that is truly from God, does not run contrary to one another. God is perfect in Knowledge and that is one of the reasons why His Word and investing considerable amount of time in it should become, the norm to the humble.
  • Timothy Wayne George on Proverbs 6:24 - 11 years ago
    Wisdom will keep thee away from the evil woman, and the flattery of the wayward wife's tongue. Therefore seek wisdom, for she will make your pathway bright. If any man lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives to all men freely. He must ask in faith, without doubting, because who ever doubts is a double minded man. The adulterous will seek after the precious life, so keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.

    The more you sleep the more the lazy you become, lazy people sleep a lot because they dont have time for planning.
  • Debra on Proverbs 6 - 12 years ago
    I see the decietfulness of man (woman) and the desire to promote self instead of God. These prove what man will go thorugh to deceive and keep you blind to Gods ways
  • Audrey on Proverbs 6:32 - 12 years ago
    I think it says a lot because Adultery causes a great deal of pain for innocent people. The Adulterer have no understanding about the shame it brings on themselves and their family. It endangers lives and changes the senario of the relationship. Trust, true love. honor are momentarily lost; maybe gone forever.
  • HARRY ALLISON on Proverbs 6 - 12 years ago
    SELF-GRATIFICATION is the secret sin that satan uses most often.PROMOTING myself instead of JESUS is playing right into UNRIGHTEOUSNESS,and satan doesnt mind a bit ....he wins that battle.JESUS is the VICTORY forever.
  • HARRY ALLISON on Proverbs 6 - 12 years ago
    i believe that sinning against someone not only hurts that someone but many that "THAT SOMEONE"encounters in the future.HEALING from JESUS is necessary for that someone not to carry this hurt and exhibit and project it on to others.JESUS LOVES US VERY MUCH...
  • HARRY ALLISON on Proverbs 6:23 - 12 years ago

    In regards to Lois's last comment, I came to this chapter as a result of a topic from "Our Daily Bread"...I agree that Proverbs is an astounding voice of Wisdom!
  • Lois on Proverbs 6 - 12 years ago
    I think Proverbs is a book of Wisdom. People can learn so much in this book of Proverbs. I learn when I was a little girl to read it as a daily bread. What ever the day is go to Proverbs that day and read it. So if the day is 02/06 then read Proverbs 6.

  • Annie on Proverbs 6 - 13 years ago
    v.17-19 these are characteristics that God does not like,a proud look,lying tongue,shedding of innocent blood,and hurrying to wrong doings.
  • Fe Vitor-Igot on Proverbs 6 - 13 years ago
    To men: Keep away from adultery!
    To women: Keep thyselves to be used as the other wife!
    To children: Keep thyselves grounded and respect parents by following the teachings of the Bible!
    To All: Never do anything stupid knowing the output is sin...cannot be undone though we repent!
  • Reggie on Proverbs 6 - 13 years ago
    Wisdom warns a concurrent theme about a"STRANGE WOMAN & STRANGER"! Note Lev.10:1 strange fire! & Jo.10:5 Jesus said &"a stranger will they not follow". Eph.2:12 & 19 without Christ ye are "STRANGERS". To handshake a deal is being in agreement with an unbeliever, & is prohibited in the Word; See 2Cor.6:14 What fellowship hath light with darkness? Prov.vs. 2 says we are snared with our words if we go there. & wisdom keeps us in vs. 24 from the "strange woman" both physical adultry & spiritual adultry as with Babylon the Mother of Harlets see Rev. chs.17 &18.

    KEEP GODS COMMANDMENTS AND LISTEN TO EVERYTHING YOUR MOTHER SAID.
  • Rebecca on Proverbs 6 - 13 years ago
    It reminds me that I the words I choose to others can encouraging or discouraging. God wants us to build up not destroy. As I was reading this in my devotions I thought it is to get caught up in our own problems that it is easy to forget this basic truth and to share it with others. It always gives me great pleasure in bringing a smile to someone who may be feeling down.
