Who are eliciting us to do what we are doing?
The ox goes to the slaughter set on by the goads. This boy follow, toward the hell (Prov 7:27), the woman that, although religious (Prov 7:14), dressed herself like a harlot (such as many girls and woman that attend the meetings in the gospel religious institution, unfortunately).
We don’t know anything about this boy. Certainly, a promising young to be a great man of the Creator. How many sisters in Christ are destructing their lives and of many youths in virtue of her vestment. Many of them not even know of what they are going after.
For this excerpt, we can see how grievous is the sin. And Paul confirms this:
And, if we don’t turn away the sin (and its harbingers), they will be like pricks (stings or goads) in our life:
Our bad desires and deceptive heart (Jer 17:9) fight against our soul:
So, stay only in the presence of those who are savant, that is to say, that seek out Jesus with a pure heart (2Tim 2:22).
Have a good week resting and biding in Christ in order to be wiser (Prov 13:20) and cleaned by Jesus’ words (John 15:3).
- "And behold, a woman welcomes to meet him, dressed as a harlot and cunning of heart." (Proverbs 7:10).
- "He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life." (Proverbs 7:22,23).

For this excerpt, we can see how grievous is the sin. And Paul confirms this:
- “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? *The sting of death is sin*; and the strength of sin is the law.” (1Cor 15:55,56).
And, if we don’t turn away the sin (and its harbingers), they will be like pricks (stings or goads) in our life:
- “But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.” (Num 33:55).
Our bad desires and deceptive heart (Jer 17:9) fight against our soul:
- “Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;” (1Peter 2:11).
- “If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.” (Genesis 4:7).
So, stay only in the presence of those who are savant, that is to say, that seek out Jesus with a pure heart (2Tim 2:22).
- “The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.” (Ecc 12:11).
