Commentary on Proverbs 7:5
Wisdom serves as protection 'from the strange woman' (Hebrew 'zarah')—the adulteress who represents all forbidden and destructive paths. The parallel between 'keep thee' and 'preserve thee' emphasizes comprehensive protection. Reformed theology sees this strange woman as a type of all worldly seductions that promise pleasure but deliver death. Wisdom, rooted in the fear of the Lord, is our defense against temptation. This connects to 1 Corinthians 10:13—God provides a way of escape from temptation.
