# Proverbs 05 General Notes ### Structure and formatting Chapter 5 continues a collection of proverbs that ends in chapter nine. ### Special concepts in this chapter ####My Son Occasionally, the author addresses a proverb to "my son." This is not intended to restrict the words of that proverb to only males. Instead, it is simply a form used to pass on advice as a father does to his son. ####Adulteress This chapter is unusual because it holds a theme about the adulteress and warns the young man to avoid her. An adulteress is a woman who commits adultery. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/adultery]]) ## Links: * __[Proverbs 05:01 Notes](./01.md)__ __[<<](../04/intro.md) | [>>](../06/intro.md)__
