In warning his sons about the "forbidden woman", the writer of these proverbs has described her tempting ways. In so doing he has pointed to areas of weakness and susceptibility to temptation for many men. Here are some of the things to beware.
* Flattery (7:5,21)
* Provacative dress and behaviour (7:10,11,13)
* Feigned godliness (7:14)
* The promise of erotic lovemaking (7:16-18)
* The assurance of not being discovered (7:19-20)
* Persistent pleading (7:21).
Disaster awaits those who fail to heed the warnings (7:22-23, 26-27).
