Gill's Notes on the Bible

My son, keep my words,.... Doctrines and instructions; which, as a father to a son, or a master to his scholars, he had delivered; these he would have him observe and attend to;

and lay up my commandments with thee: as a treasure in his heart, to be brought out upon occasion; to be kept as valuable, and made use of as an antidote against and a preservative from sinning; see Psalms 119:11. The Septuagint and Arabic versions add, what is not in the Hebrew text,

"son, honour the Lord, and thou shalt be strong;''

the Arabic adds,

"and he shall strengthen thee; and fear none besides him.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The harlot adulteress of an Eastern city is contrasted with the true feminine ideal of the Wisdom who is to be the “sister” and “kinswoman” Proverbs 7:4 of the young man as he goes on his way through life. See Proverbs 8:0 in the introduction.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER VII

A farther exhortation to acquire wisdom, in order to be

preserved from impure connections, 1-5.

The character of a harlot, and her conduct towards a youth who

fell into her snare, 6-23.

Solemn exhortations to avoid this evil, 24-27.
