Proverbs 7:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 7:6

Compare all

4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
And call understanding your nearest kin,

5 ^aThat they may keep you from the immoral woman,
From the seductress who flatters with her words.

The Crafty Harlot

6 For at the window of my house
I looked through my lattice,

7 And saw among the simple,
I perceived among the¹ youths,
A young man ^adevoid of understanding,

8 Passing along the street near her corner;
And he took the path to her house

9 ^aIn the twilight, in the evening,
In the black and dark night.

10 And there a woman met him,
With the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart.

11 ^aShe was loud and rebellious,
^bHer feet would not stay at home.
