Commentary on Proverbs 5:8
Remove your way far from the adulteress, and don't come near her house's door. The imperatives demand radical avoidance - don't merely resist but flee. Joseph's example (Gen 39) demonstrates this wisdom - when faced with sexual temptation, he fled. The specific mention of her door emphasizes avoiding even proximity to temptation. This reflects Reformed understanding that humans are weak; therefore wisdom requires not testing oneself but avoiding danger.
