Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

The strange woman - The prostitute, the adulteress.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

That they may keep thee from the strange woman,.... Nothing has a greater tendency than Christ and his Gospel, and an intimate acquaintance with them, and a retention of them, to keep from all sin, from all fleshly lusts, from the sin of uncleanness; and also from all the errors, heresies, idolatry, superstition, and will worship, of the whore of Rome; a stranger to God and true godliness, to Christ and his truths, the Spirit and his operations;

from the stranger which flattereth with her words; See Gill on Proverbs 2:16; see Gill on Proverbs 5:3, and see Gill on Proverbs 6:24.


Geneva Study Bible

That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.


Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

5. The design of the teaching (compare Pr 2:16; 6:24).


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

7:1-5 We must lay up God's commandments safely. Not only, Keep them, and you shall live; but, Keep them as those that cannot live without them. Those that blame strict and careful walking as needless and too precise, consider not that the law is to be kept as the apple of the eye; indeed the law in the heart is the eye of the soul. Let the word of God dwell in us, and so be written where it will be always at hand to be read. Thus we shall be kept from the fatal effects of our own passions, and the snares of Satan. Let God's word confirm our dread of sin, and resolutions against it.
