Proverbs 7:5 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

That they may keep thee from the strange woman One reason why Solomon so often cautions his disciple in this manner, and inculcates upon him the important duty of shunning all acquaintance with lewd women, probably was because he observed those vices to abound more than they had formerly done in his time, in which peace and prosperity had made way for luxury and uncleanness.

Proverbs 7:5

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