Albert Barnes Commentary Proverbs 7:1

"My son, keep my words, And lay up my commandments with thee." — Proverbs 7:1 (ASV)

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.
