Proverbs 6:24 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. To keep thee from the evil woman - Solomon had suffered sorely from this quarter; and hence his repeated cautions and warnings to others. The strange woman always means one that is not a man's own; and sometimes it may also imply a foreign harlot, one who is also a stranger to the God of Israel.
