Proverbs 30:21 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 30:21

The way of a serpent on a rock,
The way of a ship in the¹ midst of the sea,
And the way of a man with a virgin.

20 This is the way of an adulterous woman:
She eats and wipes her mouth,

A fool when he is filled with food,

23 A¹ hateful woman when she is married,

Yet they prepare their food in the summer;
