Gill's Notes on the Bible
Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children,.... The Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, and Arabic versions, read, in the singular number, "my son", in the same manner as the chapter begins; but it is in the plural number in the Hebrew text; and so read the Targum and Syriac version, "children", the children of Solomon; not only those of his own body, but all such that put themselves under his instruction, or were willing to take his advice: it may be extended to all the children of men, for all are interested herein; especially such who profess to be the children of God and of Christ, the followers of wisdom. This is the epilogue, or application of the above story. Since this is the case, that young men are in danger of being ensnared and brought to ruin by this harlot, therefore take the advice of the wisest of men, even of Wisdom herself;
and attend to the words of my mouth; the doctrines of Christ; the best preservative from the allurements of the whore of Rome.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 7:24. Hearken unto me now, therefore, O ye children — Ye that are young and inexperienced, seriously consider the example set before your eyes, and take warning at another's expense.
