Proverbs 5:1-7:27

Warnings about adultery - how it can ruin you - but you don't realize what is happening until it is too late.  It is best to stay far away from the temptation so you won't get swallowed in it. 

5:21 For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all his paths.

We are warned to not give in to folly - we don't always need someone to tell us the right thing to do. We should just know - and do it. 

6:6-8 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! 

It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, 

yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.

 

Here is a list of things the Lord does not like - and we are all guilty of doing them:

6:16-19 There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
