Proverbs 7

Do we really need to be beaten over the head again with this adultery theme?!! I think that we get it by now: The frosting is sweet, but the cake is poison. 

The irony of all of this is the fact that Solomon had over 700 wives and 300 hundred concubines (I Kings 11:3). So in fact, the area of wisdom that Solomon harped on for so long was also his downfall. Granted, he did not commit adulter according to the letter of the law, but he surely committed it according to the spirit of the law. 

So once again we should pay close attention to the spirit! And then by default we will follow the letter.
