Proverbs 7:5

Especially, wisdom will protect us when evil things attract us. As in earlier Chapter s, Solomon writes about sex. However, he is thinking about all types of evil behaviour. His story warns us about people who tempt us with their evil ideas. In the story, a woman tempts a man to have sex. Solomon shows how one person can tempt another person. He also shows us the result if we do evil things.

v6 I stood at my window.

I looked through the curtains.

v7 I was watching the simple people.

I saw a young man.

He was a youth. And he had not learned to be wise.

v8 He walked along the street. He went near to the corner where a certain woman lived.

He was walking towards her house.

v9 The time was late. The day was ending.

The night was beginning. The sky was becoming dark.
