Proverbs 5:5 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. Her feet go down to death - She first, like a serpent, infuses her poison, by which the whole constitution of her paramour is infected, which soon or late brings on death.

Her steps take hold on hell - First, the death of the body; and then the damnation of the soul. These are the tendencies of connections with such women.
