Proverbs 9:14 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city - even as Wisdom cries "in the top of the high places ... upon the highest places of the city" (Proverbs 9:3; Proverbs 8:2), and 'at the coming in at the doors.' The Hebrew for "seat" means 'throne,' whereas in Proverbs 9:3 it was 'pinnacles;' probably with allusion to the ostentation and kingly pomp of Antichrist (cf. note, Proverbs 9:13; Revelation 18:7, "I sit a queen;" 2 Thessalonians 2:4, "He, as God, sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God").
