“Lacking Sense”
“Lacking Sense”
Blessings folk!
Father continues teaching son.
Pro 6:30-31
Men do not despise a thief if he steals
To satisfy himself when he is hungry;
But when he is found, he must repay sevenfold;
He must give all the substance of his house.
Remember the context that we have seen previously.
What is being said here?
Even the world understands when someone steals food because he is hungry.
If he is caught, he must repay seven-fold from the wealth he has.
Now, read the next verse…
Pro 6:32
The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense;
He who would destroy himself does it.
Remember the context.
Father has been warning son about the adulteress.
What does this mean?
Even men of the world understand when someone steals for food.
But, someone who commits adultery is lacking sense.
He destroys himself by doing so.
Senseless.
Beware.
Be warned.
Behave!
