Proverbs 29: A person who will not bend after many warnings
will suddenly be broken beyond repair.

I am wondering what God means by broken beyond repair?

I have posted about this before but I feel the spirit of God has left me, that the enemy is attacking me and I've become reprobate through the fear the enemy has injected in me. I don't want this to be the case, I am praying, fighting it however I can but it isnt changing.

appriciate everyone who comforts me and tells me he cannot leave but there are contradictions in the scripture.

We know that God is a God that is true to his word and he wouldn't use the words "beyond repair." Lightly. Jesus repairs us even in our darkest moments, our darkest hours, our darkest shortfallings? So if God doesn't leave us what is this scripture..

It's a warning to those who persist in their defiance of God, as did Pharaoh, and then pay the price for their persistence, also as did Pharaoh and his kingdom.

Surely, you're not like Pharaoh ... :cool:

I don't think I am like Pharoah.
I am struggling with self condemnation though which I pray to God about daily.

If God's word is truth and he said it in truth doesn't that mean beyond repair is not a warning but a statement. Surely it would be "Broken to pieces." Instead of beyond repair.

Lord have mercy on my soul

Hi Rosesandthorns,

I may not fully comprehend what you may be experiencing. I do understand, you are feeling alone and may be in despair with what you are going through.
Here is a link: 8 Bible Verses That Remind Us God is in Control

Try reading through this article. And, whatever you may be thinking, set your focus in Jesus Christ. You are not alone. I’m also going through a marriage situation that has me in question. However, this experience is teaching me to rely in The Lord’s Sovereignty and His love. Believe that He is working behind the scenes of your life. I know, this is a struggle and you may have many days or months in this scenery. Hold fast, Hebrews 4:14 and 10:23 and Joshua 23:8.

Keep trusting God in your situation. Perhaps, temporary, rid focus on your situation and concentrate in God’s Will in your life to work for Him in service to others. I need to do this. I’m speaking to myself, as I mention this. Let’s continue to believe God, Habakkuk 1:5 .

Continue running the race track in focus to the reward, that is Jesus, to one day reach a glorified body in Him.
Hebrews 12:1 and 1 Corinthians 9:24-27.

Here is a commentary about your post of Proverbs 29:1
Proverbs 29:1 Commentaries: A man who hardens his neck after much reproof Will suddenly be broken beyond remedy.

Perhaps, “since God has been constantly reaching out to us, and we ignore Him or shrug Him aside and rather do our own understanding, we deepen ourselves to a larger hole of despair. The way to climb up again to God is, to repent of our actions/activities and converse with Him, letting Him know that you and I are wrong with our decisions and thoughts. And, that we need Him and to take control of our experiences and life again”. He wants us to depend on Him and trust on Him with our lives and experiences.

Best wishes and blessings to you.

I think this is a case where you are making the proverb bigger than what it really is.
The king was simply sharing deeper insights about life. An analogy...So this could apply to a worker who insists on doing a job one way where his employer wants him to do it another way. If through stubbornness he continues to resist, he will likely be fired. Plus he will never learn to do his job in a different way.
