If we observe the book of proverbs the entire texts deal with the teachings which will help us to be good in the society and for the youth its a perfect fatherly words and helps a man to build his manlihood. It got love,warning and assistance. It creates a crystal clear difference between good and the bad, love and hate,wisdom and foolishness. It displays the outcomes of the bad ,and it teaches us to walk in a abiding rules.
It talks about the eternity and the rewards which we get for being good and the graceful garments and the pendants. It teaches us never to accommodate at a sinful place and neither practice the sin at any cost. Fools hate the knowledge and their path lead us to the failure .

Proverbs also talks about an adulteress and it explains her words are smooth like oil and her lips drips honey and she is too good to go with and love her. But definitely her presence is surrounded by the traps to Sheol(hell) and her meetings are the road to the loss of sense and health. And in the end she is as bitter as warmwood and whoever allows this forbidden woman into their lives they may never return again.
She says her husband is out for days and can enjoy as much as one wishes with her all the night,but its hard to escape the wrath of the God as going with her is Lord's enemy thing, he may pour his bowl of anger on you and your legacy will perish forever and your name will not be heard or spoke of again.
What if we choose righteousness?? It will be like this..
"But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,which shines brighter and brighter until full day.The way of the wicked is like deep darkness ,they do not know over what they stumble"
Pro:4:18-19
Proverbs asks to learn the wisdom and leave the wickedness. It asks us to learn from the ants which have no leader but still they survive in all seasons and lack nothing. It says that one can enjoy in his wife with all the pleasures and all the beauty she has and do not even think of the neighbour's wife.
It also talks about the things which are abomination to the Lord ,they are:
1)Haughty eyes
2)A lying tongue
3)Hands that shed innocent blood
4)A heart that devises wicked plans
5)Feet that make haste to run to evil
6)A false witness who breathes out lies
7)The one who discord among brothers.
Proverbs doesn't show partiality ,it is a teaching to the son by his loving father. And it focuses on all possible bad from a woman. And if we think practically a woman doesn't need to invovle directly in the sin by a man. If his heart is of bad and evil , he thinks of her all the time and that makes him ruin. Here there is no woman who is the one explained above. She doesn't roam at the corners but its the man who desireth her in his heart and performs the sin so its all goes on to the head of him only as the woman is innocent here. This is what the proverbs teaching us not to get into the hands of the evil.
"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it"
Pro:22:06
