Day 18

Adultery

from the reading plan


Proverbs 5:1-23


After completing your daily reading, come back to chat with fellow Bible readers about any reflections you have on the proverbs, introduction, or questions from today.

In Exodus 20, God commands us not to commit adultery. Proverbs adds a layer of complexity and context to that law by discussing the path that can lead to this particular sin. This chapter warns us of the outcomes that can result from a desire that often promises fulfillment and freedom but instead delivers pain and suffering for everyone involved.

Reflection Questions:

What is the result of adulterous behavior according to the story presented in Proverbs 5?

Are there any areas in your life that reflect the disregard for wisdom found in Proverbs 5:6? What are they?

What could the warning found in Proverbs 5:8 practically mean for those areas of your life?
