Proverbs 6

Proverbs is filled with words that help enhance my vocabulary. The very first line of Proverbs 6 has "surety" which is defined as "a person who takes responsibility for another's performance of an undertaking, for example their appearing in court or the payment of a debt." To do so, one has been snared by their lips, and caught by the words of their mouth. It is advised to free oneself from this kind of living. From the aunt we can learn wisdom because they procure food in summer to last all winter. Don't be lazy; work while you can to prepare for the future. (It brings me back to Joseph and preparing for the 7 years of famine). If you sleep away (or be lazy) during the times of great planting, and harvesting, and living, poverty will surely come! Seven things to avoid, as they are hated by the Lord: Pride. Lying. Murder. Intrigue. Readiness to do evil. False Witness. The stirring up of discord. Adultery is for sure to be avoided as it is mentioned yet another time as a warning against Adultery. It is advised to observe the father's bidding and the mother's teaching. Using it as a lamp to light the way.
