Proverbs 7:11,12 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

She is loud, &c. Here the wise man draws her character. המיה היא וסררת, She is clamorous and obstinate, or refractory. She is full of talk, self-willed, disobedient to her husband, rebellious against God, and incorrigible by any admonitions of ministers or friends. Her feet abide not in her house She minds not her business, which lies in her own house, but gives herself wholly up to idleness and pleasure, which she seeks in gadding abroad, and in changing her place and company. Now she is without Standing, or waiting nigh the door of her house; now in the streets In places of resort; and lieth in wait at every corner To pick up such as she can make a prey of.

Proverbs 7:11-12

11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
