Commentary on Proverbs 7:12
Now in the streets, now in the squares, lurking at every corner. The Hebrew 'arab' (lie in wait/ambush) describes predatory positioning. The seductress strategically places herself where targets gather. This isn't passive availability but active hunting. Temptation often involves environmental engineering - placing ourselves where we know we're vulnerable. Wisdom requires avoiding dangerous places, not testing our resistance in them.
