Commentary on Proverbs 2:17
This verse identifies the seductress who abandons her covenant obligations. The 'guide of her youth' likely refers to her husband, while 'covenant of her God' indicates marriage's sacred nature. Adultery isn't merely personal betrayal but covenant breaking before God. The theology here is profound: human relationships exist within divine framework, and violations of horizontal covenants simultaneously violate vertical relationship with God. This anticipates Malachi 2:14-16's teaching that marriage is a covenant witnessed by Yahweh.
