More warning about adultery and the adulteress. See also Prv 5:1-23 and Prv 6:20-35.
v.1-5 The father calls his son to internalize his instructions (that follow in this chapter) and write them on the tablet of his heart. He is to call Wisdom his sister/friend so she will guard him from the adulteress and her flattery.
v.6-13 The father begins narrating a story about a young man who lacked sense. As the young man walks along he is suddenly propositioned by a woman dressed as a prostitute.
v.14-20 The father quotes the woman’s proposition to him. She has special linens on the bed perfumed with spices. Her husband is away on a business trip and will not be home until the full moon.
v.21-23 The young man gives in to the seduction. He follows her as an ox goes to the slaughter. The ox enters the slaughterhouse not knowing the violent end that awaits him.
v.24-27 The father warns his sons against repeating the folly of the young man. Stay away from her and her house because her house is the way to Sheol.
The teaching of Prv 5-7 is that the consequence of adultery is death. Don’t go there — it will ruin your life.
