Introduction:  Proverbs Chapter 7 begins with an admonition for Solomon’s son to pay careful heed to his (and by extension, God’s) commandments. This warning is nestled between the end of chapter 6 which warned of adultery and the remainder of this chapter which warns again of adultery and the adulteress.
 
It is the fourth time in seven chapters that this warning has been raised. Also, chapter seven concludes the first section of the book which has been addressed to Solomon’s son.
 

1.  Warning Against the Adulteress

 
Pro 7:1  My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. 
Pro 7:2  Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. 
Pro 7:3  Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. 
Pro 7:4  Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: 
Pro 7:5  That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words. 
 
For the final time in the Book of Proverbs, Solomon begins a section by addressing his son.  Though Solomon had parental advice in mind for his son, God has given us His advice for life in His Word and commandments. In fashion similar to Proverbs 2:1, 4:4, and 4:20; God once again admonishes his sons to observe (i.e., obey) His words and “lay up” (i.e., store or treasure) His commandments within us.  The thought parallels Psalm 119:11 in hiding God’s Word in our hearts.
