Proverbs 5: Warning against Adultery and whoredom. In this lesson, we cover the fleshly sin of fornication and the spiritual sin of idolatry.
The two key commandments of this chapter written by the finger of God:
| Exodus 20:3 | Thou shalt have no other gods before me. |
| Exodus 20:4 | Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: |
| Exodus 20:5 | Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; |
| Exodus 20:6 | And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. |
And also:
| Exodus 20:14 | Thou shalt not commit adultery. |
That is the theme of Proverbs chapter 05. All sexual sins are covered.
Proverbs 5:1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
Proverbs 5:2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
Proverbs 5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
To the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet:
| Proverbs 27:7 | The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. |
That why lust is a sin.
| Matthew 5:27 | Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: |
| Matthew 5:28 | But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. |
Proverbs 5:4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.
The strange woman is the woman that is other than a wife.
When applied figuratively in scripture, the strange woman is a woman that is of the people who God forbid his chosen people to mingle with because of their idolatry.
| I Kings 11:1 | But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; |
| I Kings 11:2 | Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. |
| I Kings 11:3 | And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. |
Those who promote spiritual adultery are roots that bear gall and wormwood:
| Deuteronomy 29:14 | Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath; |
| Deuteronomy 29:15 | But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day: |
| Deuteronomy 29:16 | (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by; |
| Deuteronomy 29:17 | And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:) |
| Deuteronomy 29:18 | Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood; |
| Deuteronomy 29:19 | And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst: |
| Deuteronomy 29:20 | The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven. |
- Deuteronomy 29:18 let’s us know that any man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods are roots that bear gall and wormwood.
- You’ll know a tree by its fruits.
| Matthew 7:20 | Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. |

Sharp as a twoedged sword = The word of God and is a part of our whole armour:
| Ephesians 6:17 | And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: |
Jesus will fight against those who oppose his word: (Pergamos letter)
| Revelation 2:16 | Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. |
- Those who oppose the word of God, Jesus will fight against them with the sword of His mouth, which is the word of God.
Proverbs 5:5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
The “terrors of the shadow of death” is the light of the day that shines on the adulterer who wants to move at night and not be seen. In other words, they know that what they are doing is wrong, and it is a terrible thing for them to get caught.
| Job 24:15 | The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face. |
| Job 24:16 | In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light. |
| Job 24:17 | For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death. |
- Adulterers do all their deed at night in the dark so that they can not be seen. For the light of day to shine on them and expose their deeds, that light places them in the terrors of the shadow of death.
The shame of sex scandals have:
- Ruined marriages
- Ruined ministries
- Ruined careers
- Removed politicians from office
- Broken up families
- Caused embarrassment for any one touched by them.
- Yet there is no sign of this behavior stopping.
Proverbs 5:6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
She will deceive those who are lured by her:
| II Timothy 3:13 | But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. |
Her house inclined unto death, and her paths unto the dead:
| Proverbs 2:18 | For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. |
| Proverbs 2:19 | None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. |
Proverbs 5:7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
Proverbs 5:8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
Do not put your self in the way of fleshly temptation Remove thy way far from her:
| I Thessalonians 4:1 | Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. |
| I Thessalonians 4:2 | For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. |
| I Thessalonians 4:3 | For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: |
| I Thessalonians 4:4 | That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; |
| I Thessalonians 4:5 | Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: |
| I Thessalonians 4:6 | That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. |
and come not nigh the door of her house:
| Romans 6:12 | Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. |
| Romans 6:13 | Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. |
Strange women turned the heart of Solomon to idolatry:
| I Kings 11:4 | For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. |
| I Kings 11:5 | For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. |
| I Kings 11:6 | And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. |
Proverbs 5:9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
Proverbs 5:10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
Men who choose to obey the lusts of the flesh and yield to fornication and adultery have to deal with:
- Child support payments
- Paternity suits
- Garnished wages
- Even restricted travel. New laws prohibit anyone from obtaining a passport that is delinquent in paying their child support:
| Passport Denial Program |
The Passport Denial Program, which is part of the Federal Offset Program, is designed to help states enforce delinquent child support obligations. Under the program, non-custodial parents certified by a state as having arrearages exceeding $2,500 are submitted by the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) to the Department of State (DoS), which denies them U.S. passports upon application or the use of a passport service.

Husband makes cheating wife pay for time spent raising lover’s child
A FRENCHMAN has won a ground-breaking ruling against his former wife and her lover, ordering them to pay back the money that he had spent on bringing up a child he had mistakenly assumed to be his own.
Because of Solomon’s idolatry, God took the kingdom from him and gave it to his servant:
| I Kings 11:7 | Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. |
| I Kings 11:8 | And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. |
| I Kings 11:9 | And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, |
| I Kings 11:10 | And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded. |
| I Kings 11:11 | Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant. |
Proverbs chapter 5 is a chapter dedicated to loyalty.
- Weather you are talking about fleshly fornication or
- Weather you are talking about spiritual fornication and being lured in by Babylon which is the fountain head of all idolatry. .
Proverbs 5:11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
It’s amazing how people will jeopardize their relationships, reputations and their health for their fleshly lusts. Deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh:
| I Corinthians 5:1 | It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife. |
| I Corinthians 5:2 | And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. |
| I Corinthians 5:3 | For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, |
| I Corinthians 5:4 | In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| I Corinthians 5:5 | To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. |

Jezebel taught and to seduced servants of God to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Jezebel’s body was consumed because of her spiritual wickness:
| I Kings 21:23 | And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel. |
| I Kings 21:24 | Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat. |
Proverbs 5:12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
Proverbs 5:13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
When lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death:
| James 1:12 | Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. |
| James 1:13 | Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: |
| James 1:14 | But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. |
| James 1:15 | Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. |
Proverbs 5:14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
When the light of day shines on the wicked, it is like the terrors on the shadow of death. These people are set forth for an example:
| Jude 1:7 | Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. |

Post subject: Shooting part of paternity coverup?
Shooting part of paternity coverup?
Christine Kraly
The Times
2/2/2008
GARY | The Lake County prosecutor said he is asking that an investigation into the shooting death of a 13-month-old Gary boy be wrapped into a case involving a possible conspiracy to hide a child’s paternity.
Terry Bethel, 34, has been named as a person of interest in the Monday shooting death of his son, Josiah Shaw, of Schererville, police have said.
Prosecutors are “looking deeply” into any possible connection between a case in which Bethel allegedly conspired to disprove he fathered a child and the carjacking that killed Josiah and wounded the boy’s mother, Prosecutor Bernard Carter said Friday.
Carter’s office is reviewing a case in which a man allegedly tried to get a driver’s license using Bethel’s identification in the hopes of falsely taking a paternity test while posing as Bethel, Carter said.
A source familiar with the case said with “90 percent” certainty that the child involved in the conspiracy case is Josiah Shaw.
“He (Bethel) is truly not the victim in it,” Carter said of the false identity investigation. “He’s involved in a conspiracy.”
Neither Bethel, who has six children, nor his unnamed counterpart in the case, have been charged, Carter said.
Bethel has an outstanding child support order in Lake County, a source close to the investigation said.
On Monday, Kwana Shaw, 29, was buckling her son, Josiah Shaw, into her sport utility vehicle in Gary when a man approached her and shot her, Gary police Cmdr. Samuel Roberts said.
Police said they later found Josiah Shaw wounded in the SUV at the intersection of 17th Avenue and Virginia Street.
The boy suffered gunshot wounds to the chin and pelvis and was pronounced dead at Methodist Hospitals Northlake in Gary.
The SUV was taken to the Lake County crime lab for analysis, the results of which are still unknown, Roberts said.
Bethel, who also goes by the name Terry Noel, was arrested in Portage Tuesday on a traffic warrant unrelated to the shooting and remained in Porter County Jail on a $4,000 bond Friday, authorities said. He has not faced any charges related to the shooting.
Bethel, who also faces an unrelated traffic warrant in Gary, remains a person of interest, Roberts said.
A relative of Terry Bethel, also questioned in the shooting, was in Gary police custody Friday, police said. Police said they already were questioning Joe Noel, 36, about the shooting when they learned of an outstanding warrant in Ohio. Authorities in Ohio are expected to request Joe Noel’s extradition.
Authorities would not elaborate on Joe Noel’s precise relationship to Terry Bethel.
Proverbs 5:15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
Proverbs 5:16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
Proverbs 5:17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee.
Proverbs 5:18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
Love inside a marriage is compared to a blessed fountain. Any thing outside of that is a sewage that contaminates anything it touches.
| Hebrews 13:4 | Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. |
Proverbs 5:19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing:
| Proverbs 18:22 | Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. |
A prudent wife is from the LORD:
| Proverbs 19:14 | House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD. |
be thou ravished always with her love.
| Ephesians 5:25 | Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; |
| Ephesians 5:26 | That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, |
| Ephesians 5:27 | That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. |
| Ephesians 5:28 | So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. |
| Ephesians 5:29 | For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: |
| Ephesians 5:30 | For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. |
| Ephesians 5:31 | For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. |
| Ephesians 5:32 | This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. |
| Ephesians 5:33 | Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. |
- Also read I Corinthians chapter 7.
| I Corinthians 7:1 | Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. |
| I Corinthians 7:2 | Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. |
| I Corinthians 7:3 | Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. |
| I Corinthians 7:4 | The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. |
| I Corinthians 7:5 | Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. |
| I Corinthians 7:6 | But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. |
| I Corinthians 7:7 | For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. |
| I Corinthians 7:8 | I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. |
| I Corinthians 7:9 | But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. |
| I Corinthians 7:10 | And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: |
| I Corinthians 7:11 | But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. |
| I Corinthians 7:12 | But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. |
| I Corinthians 7:13 | And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. |
| I Corinthians 7:14 | For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. |
| I Corinthians 7:15 | But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. |

| Matthew 19:5 | And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? |
| Matthew 19:6 | Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. |

| Matthew 19:9 | And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. |
Proverbs 5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man:

| I Corinthians 6:10 | Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. |
