Warnings about Wicked Women

There are five warning signs in a chapter devoted to protecting men from wicked women. Avoid her place (Proverbs 7:1-9) and make sure you are far away from her territory, or the place where you ever meet her. Refuse the allure of her pleasure (Proverbs 7:10-15), which is very real, but very disordered and deceptive. Don’t fall for the flattery of her preparation (Proverbs 7:16-20), even if it’s novel and appealing. Reject her persuasion (Proverbs 7:21-23), though it seems like food for the starving. Consider her prison (Proverbs 7:24-27), and the reality that only death awaits you.
