PROVERBS 5

If God asked you, "What are the three things you're most
thankful for these days?" — How would you answer?

SEEING WHAT'S
THERE

1.   How would you summarize the warning
given in this chapter?

2.   In what ways would you say the
adulteress described in this chapter serves also as a picture of all evil?

3.       What positive command is given
in verse 15?

4.   How would you describe in your own
words the picture of married joy in verses 15-19?

5.   In verse 21, what reason is given for
maintaining marriage purity?

CAPTURE THE
ESSENCE

6.   What to you are the most powerful
reasons given in this chapter for avoiding adultery?

7.   In your own words, what would you
say God wants us to understand most about Himself in
verse 21?

8.   If the adulteress in this chapter
is seen also as a picture of all evil, then how might you interpret verses 15-19?

9.   What kind of death do you think is
spoken of in verse 23?

FOR LIFE TODAY

10. If you're married, are you being completely
faithful to your husband or wife? How do you think God views your faithfulness
to your marriage partner at this time?

11.   How do you think God views your
faithfulness toward Him at this time?

FOR GOING
DEEPER

Look again at the picture of married pleasure and joy described in
verses 15-19. Then scan through the Song of
Solomon to see how many times these same images and themes are presented.
