Passage: Proverbs 7:25-27 (New International Version*)
25. Do not let your heart turn to her ways or

down; her slain are a mighty throng.
27. Her house is a highway to the grave,
leading down to the chambers of death.
Questions
1. Who are the victims of this woman
(described in earlier verses as a prostitute)?
2. What is the quantity of her
victims?
3. What is the quality of her victims?
Practical help
Some Bible translations take the root expression for
"mighty throng" (verse 26, above) to refer to countless men of might, valor and
esteem. If you're tempted by web porn, consider these steps:
1. Don't think you can withstand porn on the
strength of any religious credentials. People of high and low esteem need equal measures
of God's grace. Ask him for it to help in your struggle with web porn.
2. Pray for everyone you know who uses the
Internet regularly. Don't be surprised when folks thought to be above reproach give in to
web porn. Instead, point them to God's grace, and help them find their way again.
With God's grace, many mighty people who have fallen
to web porn have repented and found their way again. If you're struggling with web porn,
these people are cheering you back to your feet.
So call on God's grace, stand up and walk wisely
again!
