Proverbi 5:7 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 5:7

Hear me now therefore, O ye children

the warnings, directions, and exhortations given to avoid the whorish woman; the doctrines of Christ, the truths of the Gospel: these should not be forsaken, but abode by; and also his precepts and ordinances, which should be closely attended unto.

7 Ora dunque, figliuoli, ascoltatemi, E non vi dipartite da’ detti della mia bocca.

8 Allontana la tua via da essa, E non accostarti all’uscio della sua casa;

9 Che talora tu non dia il tuo onore agli stranieri, E gli anni tuoi al crudele;
