Context
Proverbs chapter 7 presents a vivid and cautionary narrative from a father to his son, warning him against the seductive allure of the "strange woman" or adulteress. This particular verse, Proverbs 7:18, is part of the adulteress's cunning invitation, designed to entice a naive young man into illicit sexual encounters. She has already set the scene by speaking of her husband's absence, her peace offerings, and her prepared bed (Proverbs 7:14-17), painting a picture of privacy and pleasure. The entire chapter serves as a profound warning against sexual immorality, contrasting its destructive path with the life-giving way of wisdom, a central theme throughout the book of Proverbs.
