PROVERBS 7
WARNINGS AGAINST ADULTERY
The father again warns his son to avoid sexual sin and adultery. Both David and Solomon struggled to live faithfully and honor women, which may be the reason this subject is so heavily emphasized and repeated.
The chapter shows how yielding to temptation leads to destruction, describing the man who follows adultery “like an ox to the slaughter” (Proverbs 7:22 ESV), and urges the reader to choose wisdom instead.
STUDY QUESTIONS
- Proverbs 7 contains similar warnings to Proverbs 5-6 that urge against adultery.
