Proverbs 23:26-28 - The Pulpit Commentary

Proverbs 23:26-28 - Homilies By E. Johnson

The harlot's true character

I. IT IS DANGEROUS AND PERNICIOUS . ( Proverbs 23:27 , Proverbs 23:28 .) It may be compared to a deep pit or to a narrow and deep well, out of which, if one falls therein, there is no easy escape. Or to a fell robber lying in wait for the unwary and the weak.

II. THE TRUE RESOURCE OF SAFETY . This is in the heart given up to God ( Proverbs 23:26 ). If that heart be already polluted, he can wash it and make it clean. But he who yields his heart to the prince of this world becomes the enemy of God and of his eternal wisdom.—J.
