Proverbs 6 - 7

Of the many teachings in this passage, one theme is returned to several times:  the folly of ignoring wisdom and going after an illicit relationship.  The relationship is pictured as deadly and capable of bringing down the strongest of participants.  The remedy is outlined clearly, as well.  The commands and laws taught at an early age lead the adult when they roam, keep the adult while they sleep and commune with one while awake.  These commands are light and life - they are ignored at great risk.  The summary statement is made that folks will forgive a thief who steals in time of need; but an adulterous person demonstrates their lack of true understanding and destroys their soul in the process.
