¿Cuál es el significado de Proverbios? 7? En proverbios 7 we read about a young man, who was seduced by a married woman, who had the attire of a harlot and was subtle of heart, and committed fornication. The young man is compared to an ox, who went for the slaughter, because that’s what sin does. The Bible warns, but it’s up to the people to listen and obey the words of God. Just like this young man, que estaba vacío de entendimiento, hay muchos cristianos, who are void of understanding and through their ignorance they are tempted and go the same way, not knowing that their decision can mean the end.
The unwise young man was seduced by the fair speech and flattering lips of the woman with the attire of a harlot
Porque en la ventana de mi casa miré a través de mi ventana, Y contemplado entre los simples, discerní entre los jóvenes, un joven sin entendimiento, Pasando por la calle cerca de su esquina; y se fue camino a su casa, En el crepúsculo, Por la tarde, en la noche negra y oscura: Y, Mirad, Le salió al encuentro una mujer vestida de ramera., y sutil de corazon. (Ella es ruidosa y terca.; sus pies no permanecen en su casa: Ahora ella esta sin, ahora en las calles, y acecha en cada esquina.)
Entonces ella lo atrapó, y lo besé, y con cara de descaro le dijo, Tengo ofrendas de paz conmigo.; este día he pagado mis votos.
Por eso salí a tu encuentro, diligentemente para buscar tu rostro, y te he encontrado. He adornado mi cama con tapices, con trabajos tallados, con lino fino de Egipto. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, áloe, y canela.
Venir, llenémonos de amor hasta la mañana: consolémonos con amores. Porque el buen hombre no está en casa., él ha hecho un largo viaje: Ha llevado consigo una bolsa de dinero, y regresará a casa el día señalado.
Con su discurso tan justo le hizo ceder., con el halago de sus labios lo obligó.
Él va tras ella inmediatamente, como el buey va al matadero, o como un tonto a la corrección del cepo; Hasta que un dardo atravesó su hígado; as a bird hastes to the snare, and knows not that it is for his life (Proverbios 7:6-23)
The unwise Christians, who don’t keep the words and commandments of the Father and Jesus
This young man, who didn’t have understanding belonged to the simple ones and didn’t keep the commandments and law of his parents. Just like so many unwise Christians; Cristianos, who are void of understanding and don’t live according to the Word. They don’t listen to Jesus and keep the teachings of the Father. They don’t do the commandments of the Father and Jesus, but go their own way (Leer también: Obediencia a Dios)..
A Because they are not led by the Word and don’t walk after the Spirit but are led by thier senses, feelings and emotions and walk after the flesh, they are an easy target for the devil.
As soon as the devil try to tempt them to sin, through vain thoughts, through means of pious and deceptive words of man or through (attractive) seducing people, they are not able to resist and fall into temptation.
Instead of destroying the lies of the devil with the Word of God and resist the temptation, they believe his lies and give into the (temporal) pleasures of the flesh and fall, just like the unwise young man, who was tempted by a married woman and commit adultery.
The woman was married, but the unclean spirit of lust that dwelled in her, tempted the unwise young man and persuaded him to commit adultery. Through adultery her lusts were satisfied (for a while).
How many times are Christians tempted and become apostate or fall, because of the lies and the temptations that come on their way. They could have prevented this from happening, if they would have only believed the words of God and kept His commandments.
The only way to resist temptation is to get understanding, a través de la Palabra de Dios, y caminar según el Espíritu. Only when you stay obedient to Jesus and walk after the Spirit, you will not give into the temptations of the flesh, but you will rule over them.
Caminar en el Espíritu, y no satisfagáis los deseos de la carne (Chica 5:16)
'Sé la sal de la tierra’
