Proverbs 7:14 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I have peace-offerings with me— This woman was the more abominable, as she covered her lewdness with the mask of piety and devotion. There were three sorts of peace-offerings. See Leviticus 7:11; Leviticus 12:8. Bishop Patrick takes these mentioned here to have been the last of them; offerings of thanksgiving for blessings already obtained; not of prayer for blessings not yet received: and his reason is, because she was so solicitous to have company at her feast upon this very day. Every body knows that such sacrifices were to be of the best; either of bullocks, sheep, or goats (Leviticus 6:12.); and that the greatest part of them fell to the share of the person who offered them, that he might feast with God.

Proverbs 7:14

14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.
