Initially in Proverbs 7 the father exhorts the son to internalize his moral teachings writing them "on the tablet of your heart". He says that then they will keep the immoral woman away from him. There then ensues the description of an encounter between a naive young man and a seductive immoral woman who seduced the man. "She took hold of him and kissed him... perfumed her bed... informs him that her husband is away on a long journey... and he went with her like an ox going to the slaughter and like a deer stepping into a noose!" So he warns his son to steer clear of such traps because "her house is a highway to the grave!"
