Proverbs 7:9

The young man was in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Even when we are strong, we might think wrong thoughts. However, when we are weak, evil ideas can tempt us more easily.

Night was beginning. The young man was looking for fun. He did not trust in God. He was very weak.

‘Be careful! Your enemy is the devil. He walks about, like a lion. He is looking for someone to kill and to eat.’ (1 Peter 5:8) We must stand firm and trust in God.

v10 Then, a woman came out. She met him.

Her clothes were thin and they showed the shape of her body. She had a plan.

v11 (She is noisy and proud.

She never stays at home.

v12 She walks from the street to the city square.

She waits at every corner.)

v13 She hugged the young man and she kissed him.

She spoke to him. Her face looked proud and without shame.
