The intimate romantic talk in Proverbs 8 & 9 is a deliberate literary device used by the author to present to the hearer a marriage-like embracing of Lady Wisdom. Nothing less will suffice this life saving relationship of God's people!

One thing that is beneficial about this world system, it brings to surface quickly those who are for the Lord and those who are false. Those who are false will quickly be overcome by the strong persistent pull of worldy temptation. Perseverance and godly devotion will be the integrity of those who do not stumble in temptation.

Divine Wisdom will always provide the solution that is both practical & purely ethical. Where as worldly wisdom is earthly (in the sense of not containing eternal value), sensual (subject to one's unrighteous appetite), demonic (reflects the actions of a demon). It contains envy and self-seeking attributes. Its outcomes are confusion and every evil thing. Unlike the previous chapter in which the father merely "counsels" the son, now the father commands his son!

The Old Testament does NOT discourage sexual relationships for one moment. In fact it just puts it into a proper context of a heterosexual marriage, made for the pleasure of its covenant participants, designed by an all-wise Creator. In chapter 5 the father gives advice to his son. The father recognizes that sex is a major temptation in the life of a young man. A legitimate sexual union between a male & female in the form of marriage, is the father's worldview. All other sexual behavior is a threat that misleads those seeking intimate physical relationships.
