Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible recap.

Today we continue our progress through Proverbs and we're still in the dad's advice to his

son.

He has more warnings about adultery.

He wants these words to be in his son's line of sight and on his hands and in his heart.

All three of those areas, eyes, hands and heart are important aspects of walking in holiness

to intentionally seduce this young man.

It could be someone he seeks out and pursues as well.

Proverbs 7-8 talks about the young man going out at night and walking to her house.

She meets him on his way there, but he seems to go of his own volition.

And as this particular woman lays the flattery on thick, the fool falls for it.

The dad warns his son repeatedly in all these chapters that this is the path to death.

It's not a subtle warning.

He repeats it over and over using different language and even violent language throughout

the passage, just to make sure he gets the point across.
