Proverbs 7 continues God's encouragement for us to follow, treasure and obey His commands. It adds additional warnings about avoiding the immoral woman. This is a reoccurring theme. It's a warning, not about a literal woman, though it could be, but any thing that could take God's place in our heart. Anything we give our heart to. God beacons us to "Love wisdom", like a sister. Note that he is giving this advice to a son, so this word would exemplify a brother's love for his sister. A brother would look out for the sister; he would protect the sister. That's what God is telling us to do with wisdom - guard it, make room for it. The next instruction is to "Make insight a beloved member of your family". A beloved family member is always welcome and their presence is always desired. They're someone you want to be around. Our Lord is telling us over and over again to desire, look for and endear wisdom and insight. He explains the benefits of doing so - to keep us from the immoral woman, those things that would jeopardize our relationship with Him. He loves us so much that He offers His gift of wisdom and repeats that offer until we get it!
Proverbs 7 ends with a summation - it's as simple as this! Listen and pay attention to the words of wisdom and keep your heart from those things that will lead you astray, away from God and down a totally different path. For the immoral woman is known for being the ruin of many and once she gets your heart, your life will most certainly end in death.

French card historian, Thierry Depaulis debunks this story, exhibiting that prospectors in the course of the Klondike Gold Rush (1896–ninety nine) gave the name blackjack to the 카지노사이트 game of American Vingt-Un, the bonus being the usual ace and any 10-level card
