John Gill Commentary Proverbs 5:7

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

Hear me now therefore, O you children Since such is the character, this the wretched end, and these the ways of the adulterous woman; those that are young in years, and liable to be ensnared by her, should hear what Solomon, or Christ, here says, for their caution and instruction; and especially such who are, or profess themselves to be, the children of God and of Christ; and therefore, as dear children, should be followers of them, and not of an harlot;

and depart not from the words of my mouth ; the warnings, directions, and exhortations given to avoid the whorish woman; the doctrines of Christ, the truths of the Gospel: these should not be forsaken, but abided by; and also his precepts and ordinances, which should be closely attended unto.
