Several of the women in my department have got rings through their nose!Like a gold ring in a swine’s snout
is a beautiful woman without discretion
Proverbs 11:22
Good Lord, her entire face is fake. She literally painted a fake face on top of her real one. This is papier mache mask shenanigans. Why is this so common? Who finds this attractive? It looks like a sci-fi android's synthetic faux-skin.
Well you certainly have more self-control than me. Years ago my friend and I went to this gentleman's club in Ukraine. There were a half-dozen beautiful naked women dancing in a big room. Just the sight of it threw me into a frenzy. I have always struggled with lust, and I could feel my dopamine spike to ridiculous levels, as if I were on drugs. It was not a pleasant feeling, it was like I was losing control. That night neither of us could sleep much because of these sexual images flashing through our minds. I don't know how the male bartender and sheesha guy can work there and not go crazy.I had a very weird experience today. I gave into temptation and went along to a "gentleman's club" this afternoon. One of the dancers who went by the name of Ariel came and sat near me talking to me asking me if I wanted a dance. She put her leg over mine and was touching me while she was talking to me. She was very attractive but I wasn't aroused.
I got her out of character and she told me her name was Ava and where she went to school what she was studying, etc. She told me she was raised as an orthodox jew. I was flirting with her and teasing her but I kept it PG. At one point she stared at me and asked me point blank if I was religious! It came out of nowhere. I wasn't wearing anything denoting my faith and my medals were inside my shirt.
I think that these places are infested and they can tell when their enemies are present.
This, my friends, is the power of ZFG as I used to say on the old forum. Remove your lust and you have all the power. Chicks dig power.As one wise man once said, what such women fear is a volcel. Without a man's lust, they are nobody.
By "strength", I think it's pretty clear what is meant here."My son don't give your strength to women or your ways to that which destroys Kings."
-Proverbs 31
47“I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’
“She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom Milkah bore to him.’
“Then I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her arms, 48 and I bowed down and worshiped the Lord. I praised the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me on the right road to get the granddaughter of my master’s brother for his son. 49 Now if you will show kindness and faithfulness to my master, tell me; and if not, tell me, so I may know which way to turn.”
50 Laban and Bethuel answered, “This is from the Lord; we can say nothing to you one way or the other. 51 Here is Rebekah; take her and go, and let her become the wife of your master’s son, as the Lord has directed.”
This is the account of the family line of Abraham’s son Isaac.
Abraham became the father of Isaac, and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan Aram and sister of Laban the Aramean.
Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was childless. The Lord answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant. The babies jostled each other within her, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of the Lord.
The Lord said to her,
“Two nations are in your womb,
and two peoples from within you will be separated;
one people will be stronger than the other,
and the older will serve the younger.”
When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb. The first to come out was red, and his whole body was like a hairy garment; so they named him Esau. Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them.
What translation do you have?
The LXX clearly says "earings".
