This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_5:7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
Ver. 7. O ye children.] See Pro_4:1. Shechem, though at ripeness of age, yet is called a child. {Gen_39:19} Neque distulit puer. And the young man, or the child, deferred not to do the thing. A child he is called, that is, a fool, quia non ratione sed affectu rapitur, saith an interpreter, {a} because not reason but lust overruled him. "As for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel," said she to her libidinous {b} brother Amnon. {1Sa_23:13}
{a} Pareus.
{b} Of persons, their lives, actions, desires: Given to, full of, or characterized by lust or lewdness; lustful, lecherous, lewd.
