Proverbs Chapter 07 Warning Against the Adulteress

Chapter VII

An exhortation to cleave to wisdom, as a preservative from strange women, ver. 1 - 5. The snares they lay for unwary young men, ver. 6 - 23. A serious caution against coming near them, ver. 24 - 37.

2 Live - Thou shalt live. Eye - With all possible care and diligence.
3 Bind them - As a ring which is continually in a man's eye.
4 And call - Acquaint and delight thyself with her.
8 Passing - Idle and careless, near the corner of the street in which her house stood.
12 Without - Without the door of her house. Corner - Of the streets, where she might either conceal or discover herself, as she saw fit.
14 Offerings - I have paid my peace - offerings which I had vowed. Whereby she signifies, that she had plentiful provisions at her house for his entertainment. For the peace - offerings were to be of the best flesh, Lev 22:21, and a considerable part of these offerings fell to the offerer's share.
20 Hath taken - Which is an evidence that he designs to stay a considerable time. At the day - So that we need not fear any surprise.
22 As an ox - Going to it securely, as if it were going to a good pasture.
23 His liver - His vital parts, 'till his life be lost.
