Basically the connection that the Bible's making here is that the man who goes for the strange woman is the simple who are passed on
And are punished. This is a simple-minded person void of knowledge. The Bible says in Proverbs 9 verse 13 a foolish woman is clamorous
Loudmouth, she is simple and knoweth nothing for she sitteth at the door of her house on a seat in the high places of
The city to call passengers who go right on their ways
Whoso is simple let him turn in hither
That's for him that wants its understanding. She say it to him stolen waters are sweet and bread eaten in secret is pleasant
Hey, if anybody if any woman tries to get you to establish some sort of relationship and seeker with you red flag
Red flag folks
This is the same woman says stolen waters are sweet
Bread eaten in secret is pleasant. Yeah, but afterwards that mouth shall be filled with gravel. That's what the Bible says
And the bread probably tastes disgusting anyways, it's rotten it's got mold the waters are probably bitter
Just know this the strange woman will never deliver on her promises
Just like Satan never delivers on his promises
Look at Genesis 38 verse 12
It says in the process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died and
Judah was comforted and went up unto his sheep shearers to Timnath. He and his friends Hira the Adulamite and
He was told Tamar
Saying behold thy father-in-law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep
So Tamar is the wife of Shuah
Okay, Shuah at this point has already passed away. And so she's a widow. Okay, and
So they told Tamar hey Judah who is Shuah's dad, excuse me
Yeah, Judah who is Shuah's father is coming down to basically to be in this area
they tell this to Tamar look at verse 14 and she put her widow's garment off from her and
Covered her what they veil and wrapped herself and sat in an open place
Which is by the way up to Timnath for she saw that Sheila was grown and she was not given unto him to wife
So let me explain what's going on here
Judah his son passed away, but he told Tamar
Hey when my other son is grown then you could marry him and you know, you'll you'll have someone to take care of you
You'll be married
Everything will be fine. But the thing is is that Sheila grew up and Judah did not give her give him to
To to Tamar so he basically went back on his promise. So she's a little upset about that. Okay, and
So now she's conspiring she's doing this deceitful thing where she's gonna take off her widow's garment and put on the garment of a harlot
It says to Timnath for she saw that Sheila was grown and she was not given to him to wife when Judah saw her
He thought her to be in harlot
Now to the previous point obviously what she was wearing made her look like a harlot
Okay, so that means some women who are can look like a prostitute not be a prostitute
But they just dress like a prostitute
When Judah saw her he thought it to be a harlot now
She wanted to look like a harlot though
Because she had covered her face and he turned unto her by the way and said go to I pray thee
Let me come in unto thee
For he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law and she said what would thou give me?
That that man is coming unto me and he said I will send thee a kid from the flock
And she said wilt thou give me a pledge till thou send it and
He said what pledge shall I give thee and she said thy signet thy bracelets and thy staff that is in thine hand
And he gave it her and came in unto her and she conceived by him now
The reason she's doing this is because she's basically gonna gonna gonna trick him. Okay?
so that when
News comes back to Judah that his daughter-in-law is playing the harlot, you know
He overreacts is like, oh man, we need to burn her
Cuz this is like hey, she's conceived by a by, you know by she's having a child by whoredoms and Judah's like death
Kind of like the way David reacted, you know
when when Nathan the Prophet came to him and he's like burn her and then she comes and
Then she's like the person who basically I'm gonna have a baby by is the owner of these things
The bracelet the signet and the staff and she's like she's more righteous than I
Which is such a stupid statement because they're both not righteous at all. She was just more cunning than he was and
Conspired more in an evil way to basically, you know, and he understood at the end
He's all that's because I didn't give Sheila to her to wife
But the point is the point that I'm trying to make is the fact that he was willing to give a pledge for this harlot
This harlot who he thought he didn't know
Obviously a stupid individual and by the way anybody who goes around sleeping with prostitutes is a stupid individual
Okay, there's a pastor a couple years ago who was doing that. He's a foolish person. He's a wicked person
You know using church money by the way
To go sleep with prostitutes. I mean, how wicked is that?
But anybody who goes around sleeping with prostitutes is obviously a simple stupid idiotic individual
Why because they don't know that person they don't know how many diseases that person has
I don't know if that person has HIV or what kind of STDs that they have or diseases or you know
Maybe her pimp is waiting in that hotel room or whatever and shoots him and kills him and robs him
But you know what take a pledge of him for a strange woman because only simple stupid people do that
Only an idiot will go around and sleeping with prostitutes
