Proverbs 7:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 7:9

Compare all

7 And saw among the simple,
I perceived among the¹ youths,
A young man ^adevoid of understanding,

8 Passing along the street near her corner;
And he took the path to her house

9 ^aIn the twilight, in the evening,
In the black and dark night.

10 And there a woman met him,
With the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart.

11 ^aShe was loud and rebellious,
^bHer feet would not stay at home.

12 At times she was outside, at times in the open square,
Lurking at every corner.

13 So she caught him and kissed him;
With an¹ impudent face she said to him:

14 “I have peace offerings with me;
Today I have paid my vows.
