Passage: Proverbs 5:13-14 *

13. I would not obey my teachers or listen to my instructors.

14. I have come to the brink of utter ruin in the midst of the whole assembly."

Question

What dilemma is envisioned in verse 14 above?

 

Practical help

As virtual as Web porn is, the consequences of viewing it are anything but. The shock waves generated by smut surfing are painful, humiliating — and real-life.

Verse 13 above suggests how to avoid both the porn and post-porn pain. Namely, by listening to the advice of people who have learned the cruel effects of immorality the hard way — folks who spurned all warnings and dove right into trouble.

Many lived-to-regret-it porn surfers now echo the scriptural warning above: Stay clear of smut. Otherwise, prepare for calamitous consequences — all real, none of it virtual.
