SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:5
para que te guarden de la mujer ajena, y de la extraña que ablanda sus palabras.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 7:5
Verse 5. The strange woman ] The prostitute, the adulteress.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. That they may keep thee from the strange woman , etc.] Nothing has a greater tendency than Christ and his Gospel, and an intimate acquaintance with them, and a retention of them, to keep from all sin, from all fleshly lusts, from the sin of uncleanness; and also from all the errors, heresies, idolatry, superstition, and will worship, of the whore of Rome; a stranger to God and true godliness, to Christ and his truths, the Spirit and his operations; from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words ; (see Gill on “ Proverbs 2:16 5:3, 6:14”), Ver. 6 . For at the window of my house , etc.] This is either an historical account of a matter of fact known to Solomon, or a parable made by him, setting forth the cunning artifices of an harlot, the folly and weakness of a young man ensnared, and the ruin he is brought into by her. As Solomon was a public magistrate, he is here represented as a private observer of the behaviour of his subjects, as sitting in his palace at a window, at the small windows of it, as the Targum, where he could see and not be seen himself; near to which was an harlot’s house; for they generally get about the courts of princes, where they make their prey; I looked through my casement ; or “lattice” f171 ; the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions: understand this of the harlot looking out of the window of her house and through the casement, when she spied a young man, as follows; but this agrees not with the Hebrew text, which carries it to Solomon; though a greater than he may be designed, the omniscient God, who looks through the windows and lattice of heaven, and beholds all the actions of the children of men; those that are most private, and done in the dark; and Christ the Son of God, whose “eyes [are] like unto aflame of fire”, to look through all the darkness of Popery, represented by the Thyatirian church state; into all the intrigues of the Romish harlot, and behold all the follies of those that commit fornication with her, ( Revelation 2:18).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - We must lay up God's commandments safely. Not only, Keep them, and yo shall live; but, Keep them as those that cannot live without them Those that blame strict and careful walking as needless and to precise, consider not that the law is to be kept as the apple of the eye; indeed the law in the heart is the eye of the soul. Let the wor of God dwell in us, and so be written where it will be always at han to be read. Thus we shall be kept from the fatal effects of our ow passions, and the snares of Satan. Let God's word confirm our dread of sin, and resolutions against it.
