SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:1–27: Tenth lesson: Here is an example of a young man who was seduced by a married woman

This lesson is another warning to avoid adultery. It begins with an appeal that the son pay attention to his father’s advice. This advice will protect him from being seduced by an adulteress (7:1–5). The main part of the lesson has the form of a first person narrative. The narrator tells how he observed a young man being seduced (7:6–23). First the story focuses on the young man (7:6–9), then it describes the adulteress (7:10–12) and her enticing words (7:13–20). Finally it tells how the young man yielded to the temptation (7:21–23). The lesson concludes with an appeal that the son follow his father’s advice rather than be seduced by the adulteress, because involvement with her will lead to death (7:24–27).

Some other headings for this section are:

Warning Against the Adulteress (NIV)

The story about an adulteress who tempted a young man

Paragraph 7:24–27

This paragraph contains an exhortation that is based on the warning given in the previous verses.

7:25

Notice the parallel parts that are similar in meaning:

25a Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways;

25b do not stray into her paths.

7:25a

Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways;

7:25b

do not stray into her paths.

7:25a–b

Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths: The verbs used in these parallel lines have slightly different connotations. The first verb turn aside means to turn aside or stray into an area. The second verb means to wander around within an area.This distinction is brought out by Fox (pages 250–251). NIDOTTE (H9494) also says that the second verb means “wander off” or “roam around.” The NLT expresses this as:

Don’t let your hearts stray away toward her. Don’t wander down her wayward path. (NLT)

ways…paths: In Proverbs, the words translated ways and paths often refer figuratively to a person’s behavior or way of life. The young man should not allow himself to stray off the path of right behavior toward involvement with another man’s wife. Once he gets involved, he will wander around in adulterous behavior.

In some languages, this may have to be expressed without using figures of speech. For example:

Do not allow your thoughts to stray toward women like that. Do not become involved in their way of life.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אַל־יֵ֣שְׂטְ אֶל־דְּרָכֶ֣י⁠הָ לִבֶּ֑⁠ךָ אַל־תֵּ֝תַע בִּ⁠נְתִיבוֹתֶֽי⁠הָ

not not (Some words not found in UHB: not turn_aside to/towards ways_of,her heart_of,your not stray in,pathways_of,her )

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the clauses with a word that shows that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; yes, do not wander into her tracks]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אַל־יֵ֣שְׂטְ אֶל־דְּרָכֶ֣י⁠הָ לִבֶּ֑⁠ךָ אַל־תֵּ֝תַע בִּ⁠נְתִיבוֹתֶֽי⁠הָ

not not (Some words not found in UHB: not turn_aside to/towards ways_of,her heart_of,your not stray in,pathways_of,her )

Here Solomon speaks of joining oneself to an adulterous woman as if one were turning aside to go on her ways or wandering into her tracks. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. See how you translated ways in [3:6](../03/06.md) and tracks in [2:15](../02/15.md). Alternate translation: [Do not let your heart want to join yourself to an adulterous woman; do not go along with her]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אַל־יֵ֣שְׂטְ & לִבֶּ֑⁠ךָ

not not (Some words not found in UHB: not turn_aside to/towards ways_of,her heart_of,your not stray in,pathways_of,her )

See how you translated the same use of heart in [2:2](../02/02.md). Alternate translation: [Do not allow yourself to give in]
