Charles Ellicott Commentary Proverbs 5:7

"Now therefore, [my] sons, hearken unto me, And depart not from the words of my mouth." — Proverbs 5:7 (ASV)

(h) Eighth Discourse: — Against Adultery, and in Praise of Marriage (Proverbs 5:7–23).

Hear me now therefore, O ye children.—In this verse Solomon apparently ceases to report the words of his father, and resumes his speech in his own person.
