In Proverbs 7 we read:
1-5 Dear friend, do what I tell you;
treasure my careful instructions.
Do what I say and you’ll live well.
My teaching is as precious as your eyesight—guard it!
Write it out on the back of your hands;
etch it on the chambers of your heart.
Talk to Wisdom as to a sister.
Treat Insight as your companion.
They’ll be with you to fend off the Temptress—
that smooth-talking, honey-tongued Seductress.
The preacher claims his instructions are a treasure. In this chapter, he focus on the adulteress who seduces a man leading him to death. How to escape her seduction? By talking to Wisdom as to a sister, by being close friend to her.
