Proverbs 6 Commentary

Using a lender-borrower analogy, Solomon warns of the danger of forfeiting our stewardship to others and provides a way out of the danger.

Solomon warns against laziness and tries to encourage the reader toward action by showing the inherent dangers of apathy.

Solomon illustrates the characteristics of a wicked person and the result.

The practical ramifications of wickedness run counter to God, His design for the world, and what is best for each human life.

The commands of God and the teachings of those who follow Him illuminate our path. They lead to discernment, peace, and fellowship.

Flirting with temptation is dangerous. Sin has consequences that cannot be avoided. Submitting to wickedness interrupts a productive life.

Proverbs 6:30-35 explains how the repercussions of betrayal are severe.
