1. Pro 6:27 – “Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?”
- Can a man take fire in his bosom,
- When a woman is sexually intimate with a man she is given into his bosom (Gen 16:5).
- Adultery is described as a fire (Job 31:12).
- Therefore, when a man commits adultery with a whore he is taking fire into his bosom.
- Thus, he who commits adultery is playing with fire.
- and his clothes not be burned?
- Solomon is asking a rhetorical question to which the answer is obviously “no.”
- If you play with fire, you will get burned.
- Fools who think that they can get away with sin without consequences will be sorely mistaken (Gal 6:7-8).
- God will recompense men’s iniquities into their bosom (Jer 32:18).
- If a man burns with lust and goes into a strange woman, he will be burned temporally if he is a child of God (Joh 15:2, 6) and eternally if he is not (Rev 21:8).
