The Dead Are There…Her Guests Are Deep In The Realm Of The Dead

Proverbs 9:17-10:1 – “Stolen water is sweet; food eaten in secret is delicious!” But little do they know that the dead are there, that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead. The proverbs of Solomon: A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.

Proverbs 2:18 – Surely her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead.

Proverbs 27:11 – Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart; then I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt.

Proverbs 16:4 – The Lord works out everything to its proper end—even the wicked for a day of disaster.

Application:
