Proverbs 7 Bible Study Guide

Proverbs 7 is a vivid warning against the seduction of the adulteress. Solomon tells his son to keep his commandments and to call wisdom his sister. The chapter then tells a story of a young man lacking sense who passes near the corner where an adulteress waits. She meets him dressed seductively and speaks flattering words. The young man follows her like an ox going to slaughter. The chapter warns that her house is the way to Sheol, and calls the son to stay on the path of life.
