This appears to be predicting the coming of Jesus. I didn't get much beyond that. My mind was really focused on that.
It's interesting how the woman seems to be blamed for coercion when a man commits adultery. I imagine that this can be put in the context of either man or woman, but all of these always seem to blame to woman. Maybe I am reading too much into that...

This chapter did also give mention to the coming of Jesus. The rest of the reading talked about the destruction of the people and that only a "remnant" of Israel will remain after all the destruction God brings about.
No, you are correct. The woman is often blamed for the actions of man. Maybe that stems from the beginning of time. It will always be the woman's fault, even though men make their own decisions. It's not right but that seems to be the case. It also warns against folly.
