A Stroll Through Proverbs 7:6-7:12

Previous Verses: Proverbs 7:1-7:5 “1 My son, keep [guard] my words, and lay [treasure] up my commandments [statutes] with thee. 2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye [valuable]. 3 Bind [confine] them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart [inner man, soul]. 4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman [close friend]: 5 That they may keep thee from the strange [immoral] woman, from the stranger [seductress] which flattereth with her words.”
