Gill's Notes on the Bible
And beheld among the simple ones,.... Such as are easily persuaded and drawn into sin; simple and foolish in things moral and spiritual, and not arrived to any ripeness of understanding in things natural and civil; have seen but little of the world, and know less of religion, and are easily imposed upon and carried away with the company they keep; such simple foolish creatures are the followers of antichrist; see 2 Timothy 3:6;
I discerned among the youths; or "children" d; at least in understanding, the children Jezebel, Revelation 2:23;
a young man void of understanding; or "wanting a heart" e; to know and fear the Lord, and not in the way to learn and improve; but in company like himself, and so in a fair way to continue foolish and simple, and destitute of the true understanding of things, and exposed to the snares delusions of such that lie in wait to deceive.
d בבנים "inter filios", Pagninus, c. e חסר לב "carentem corde", Montanus, Mercerus, Gejerus "destitutum corde", Schultens.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Simple - In the bad sense of the word (Proverbs 1:22 note); “open” to all impressions of evil, empty-headed and empty-hearted; lounging near the house of ill-repute, not as yet deliberately purposing to sin, but placing himself in the way of it at a time when the pure in heart would seek their home. There is a certain symbolic meaning in the picture of the gathering gloom Proverbs 7:9. Night is falling over the young man’s life as the shadows deepen.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 7:7. Among the simple ones — The inexperienced, inconsiderate young men.
A young man void of understanding — חסר לב chasar leb, "destitute of a heart." He had not wisdom to discern the evil intended; nor courage to resist the flatteries of the seducer.
