    But it may say something about the Spirit's freedom of expression.

    That is why I have been saying more than that sentence before.

    Well not just physical adultery, but spiritual adultery so to speak, along with the world's system, contrasted to living by God's system and His wisdom.

    The discussion from chapter 5 to 7 is very specifically on a proper marital relation versus being tempted into an adulterous relation. Other parts discuss other types of folly but the adulterous woman is not part of that, for instance :

    Prov 1:10 My son, if sinners entice you,
    Do not consent.
    11 If they say, “Come with us,
    Let us lie in wait to shed blood;
    Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;
    12 Let us swallow them alive like Sheol,
    And whole, like those who go down to the Pit;
    13 We shall find all kinds of precious possessions,
    We shall fill our houses with spoil;
    14 Cast in your lot among us,
    Let us all have one purse”—
    15 My son, do not walk in the way with them,
    Keep your foot from their path;
    16 For their feet run to evil,
    And they make haste to shed blood.
    17 Surely, in vain the net is spread
    In the sight of any bird;
    18 But they lie in wait for their own blood,
    They lurk secretly for their own lives.
    19 So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain;
    It takes away the life of its owners.

    That's a description of robbers and murderers, the same kind that hung on the crosses next to Jesus.

    20 Wisdom calls aloud outside;
    She raises her voice in the open squares.
    21 She cries out in the chief concourses,
    At the openings of the gates in the city
    She speaks her words:
    22 “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?
    For scorners delight in their scorning,
    And fools hate knowledge.
    23 Turn at my rebuke;
    Surely I will pour out my spirit on you;
    I will make my words known to you.

    Proverbs 1-9 cannot be reduced to simple good woman vs bad woman imagery. Wisdom speaks out against a broader array of fools than just those who follow the adulterous woman.
