# Proverbs 7 General Notes
|
|
|
|
### Structure and formatting
|
|
|
|
Chapter 7 continues a collection of proverbs that ends in chapter nine.
|
|
|
|
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
|
|
|
#### Parallelism
|
|
|
|
Proverbs are often written without any surrounding context and in two lines of text. Each line will have a certain relationship to the other line. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])
|
|
|
|
Many of the proverbs are stated as promises or commands, but they are intended to be advice.
|
|
|
|
#### My Son
|
|
|
|
Occasionally the author addresses a proverb to "my son." This is not intended to restrict the words of that proverb to only males, but is still given in the context of a father warning his son.
|
|
|
|
#### Adulteress
|
|
|
|
This chapter continues the theme about the adulteress and warns the young man to avoid her.
