Proverbs 7:10–13

Condemnation of Fornication and Adultery.

V. 10. And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, the Hebrew expression referring either to indecent exposure or to a decorating of the bosom to draw attention to its charms, and subtile of heart, hypocritical and two-faced, simulating faithfulness and love in the presence of her husband, but flattering .strange men in wanton abandonment.

(V. 11. She is loud, stormily excited, and stubborn, ungovernable; her feet abide not in her house, where her duty to her husband should have kept her; v. 12. now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner, her progress from before her own door to the street and then to the intersection of streets being graphically portrayed.)

V. 13. So she caught him and kissed him, such kisses being the very essence of unchastity, and with an impudent face said unto him, literally, “she put on a bold face in inviting him.”
