Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Proverbs 7:25
Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
Decline to her ways; either to the paths which lead to her house, or to her manner of living.

Let not thine heart decline to her ways,…. Or turn not aside from the right way, the path of truth and holiness, to those of the whorish woman, that lead to ruin and destruction; do not so much as think of going out of the one into the other; let there not be the least wandering thought, affection, or disposition of the mind thereunto; stop and check the first motion of the heart, which leads to a compliance with her, and seems to be directed to her ways, or to betray any love and liking of them;
go not astray in her paths; for whoever walks in her paths goes astray from God and his law; from Christ and his Gospel; and from the true church of God; and from the right paths of faith, duty and worship.

Pro 7:25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
Ver. 25. Let not thine heart. ] Think not of her, lust not after her. Thoughts and affections are sibi mutuo causae. “While I mused the fire burned,” Psa 39:3 so that thoughts kindle affections, and these cause thoughts to boil. See Job 31:1 . See therefore that evil thoughts, though they rush into the heart, yet they rest not in it.
