1 My sonne, keepe my words, and lay vp my commaundements with thee.
2 Keepe my commandements, and liue: and my law as the apple of thine eye.
3 Bind them vpon thy fingers, write them vpon the table of thine heart.
4 Say vnto Wisedome, Thou art my sister, and call Understanding thy kinse woman,
5 That they may keepe thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
6 ¶ For at the windowe of my house I looked through my casement,
7 And behelde among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a yong man void of vnderstanding,
8 Passing through the streete neere her corner, and he went the way to her house,
9 In the twilight in the euening, in the blacke and darke night:
10 And behold, there met him a woman, with the attire of an harlot, and subtill of heart.
11 (She is loud and stubburne, her feet abide not in her house:
12 Now is shee without, now in the streetes, and lieth in waite at euery corner.)
13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face, said vnto him,
14 I haue peace offerings with me: this day haue I paid my vowes.
15 Therefore came I forth to meete thee, diligently to seeke thy face, and I haue found thee.
16 I haue deckt my bed with couerings of tapestrie, with carued workes, with fine linnen of Egypt.
17 I haue perfumed my bed with myrrhe, aloes, and cynamom.
18 Come, let vs take our fill of loue vntill the morning, let vs solace our selues with loues.
19 For the good-man is not at home, he is gone a long iourney.
20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
21 With much faire speech she caused him to yeeld, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
24 ¶ Hearken vnto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
25 Let not thine heart decline to her wayes, goe not astray in her paths.
26 For shee hath cast downe many wounded: yea many strong men haue bene slaine by her.
27 Her house is the way to hell, going downe to the chambers of death.

The fouth verse, Reminds me of Teresa and Jessica, who are considerate women that dare to dream and are grounded in the Truth, and love God through Our Lord and Saviour Jesus.

This proverb is a strong warning against falling into idolatry- letting anything, opportunity, adventure, possession, thing that could take the eyes of your heart off the God of Abraham,Jacob, & Moses for one second-can leave you open for the enemies game-DECEPTION

I believe this is a warning to all believers, especially men, to stay away from the spirit of this world. The fear of the Lord is wisdom; and if we truly fear God, we are going to hate evil, that’s the only way it works.
Biodun Williams's Proverbs Chapter 7 comment on 1/23/2013, 11:21am...
When we love purity of mind and have, thirst for righteousness and godliness, and also put God’s Word into our mouths, God’s eternal faithfulness won’t forget, all our activities of love. And if the righteous and holy God, must preserve and really hide you and I, in the secret place of His loving-kindness, the onus, rests on us to make sure that we abide in His love and that His love abides in us; for that is the intent of the Immortal , and the Invisible God concerning you and I. All these are things that are worthy of acceptance, and it is only for whosever dare to trust and honour the dictates of God. And that is, in all it’s different dimensions. The truth is, when God’s divine ordinances are put into practice, that is love and humility in place-and He can’t but shed His glory on whatever we set our hands upon; for He is the faithful God. His love is forever commendable and dependable.

Keep in mind that Solomon was "wise", a "King" and a "Prophet". Be it a tragic story from Verse 1-23. Verse 24-27 is Prophecy. When he says in verse 24, as in so many others verses of God’s word, when He says "O YE CHILDREN" the Lord is usually speaking to ISRAEL. The "harlot" here represents the "enemy", as in Revelation, the "Whore of Babylon". The Lord warns of how many men she has killed and that she's headed straight for hell.

As like any scripture written in the king james authorized version bible, it is the truth and full of wisdom. Praise The Lord we have this freely to guide us.
