# Proverbs 07 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.
