Proverbs 9:13 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

A foolish woman. — Rather, the Foolish woman; Folly personified, in opposition to Wisdom described above.

Clamorous. — Not of dignified mien, as her rival.

Simple. — Heb., simplicity, i.e., she is simplicity itself.

And knoweth nothing. — And so leaves room for all evil to enter in and dwell with her (Matthew 12:45); thus she perishes, like Israel, for “lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).

Proverbs 9:13
