These verses struck me this morning. It is interesting that God says an immoral woman abandons her husband and ignors the covenant she made before God. He doesn't say the covenant she made with her husband but the covenant that she made with God. I think about these verses in light of a marriage especially when there are difficulties and you might want to run away. God says think of the covenant you made with ME and don't abandon him, and don't go with other men. If women did this I think the divorce rate would take a nose dive.
Proverbs 2:16-22
16 Wisdom will save you from the immoral woman,
from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman.
17 She has abandoned her husband
and ignores the covenant she made before God.
18 Entering her house leads to death;
it is the road to the grave.[b]
19 The man who visits her is doomed.
He will never reach the paths of life.
20 Follow the steps of good men instead,
and stay on the paths of the righteous.
21 For only the godly will live in the land,
and those with integrity will remain in it.
22 But the wicked will be removed from the land,
and the treacherous will be uprooted.
