WARNING AGAINST WANTONNESS. — V. 7. Hear me now, therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth, this admonition being based upon the picture just drawn and introducing the following warning. V. 8. Remove thy way far from her, for safety, in the case of this temptation, does not lie in attempting to give battle, but in fleeing and keeping one’s distance, and come not nigh the door of her house, thereby risking and inviting temptation.
