SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:13
¶ La mujer loca, alborotadora, simple e ignorante;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 9:13
Verse 13. A foolish woman is clamourous ] Vain, empty women, are those that make most noise. And she that is full of clamour, has generally little or no sense. We have had this character already, see chap. vii. 11. The translation of the Septuagint is very remarkable: gunh afrwn kai yraseia, endehv qwmou ginetai, "A lewd and foolish woman shall be in need of a morsel of bread."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. A foolish woman [is] clamorous , etc.] Some by this woman understand folly itself, as opposed to wisdom; others blind reason, ignorant of divine things; others carnal sensual pleasure, which entices and draws men to that which is evil; others heresy and superstition; others the old serpent, the devil; she seems to be the same with the strange woman and harlot before described, ( Proverbs 2:16 5:3 7:5), etc. and being set in direct opposition to Wisdom, or Christ, seems to design antichrist, who is described in the book of the Revelation as the great whore; and all the characters here agree with the same. Antichrist is represented as a “woman”, ( Revelation 17:3,4,6,18); and is “foolish”; for whatever worldly cunning and craft, and wicked subtlety, there may be in the Romish antichrist, yet he is destitute of all spiritual wisdom and knowledge; and is “clamorous” and noisy, has a mouth speaking great swelling words of vanity and blasphemy, boasting of infallibility, works of supererogation, merits, miracles, wealth, and riches; and very pressing and importunate to gain proselytes to his religion; the priests and Jesuits are compared to noisy, clamorous, croaking frogs, ( Revelation 16:13); [she is] simple, and knoweth nothing ; a woman of follies, extremely foolish and simple, and most grossly ignorant; knows nothing that is good, as the Targum; that is, spiritually good; knows not God aright; is without the fear and love of him, and faith in him; nor knows Christ, and the way of righteousness and life by him; nor the Spirit of God, and the operations of his grace upon the heart; nor the Gospel, and the doctrines of it; nor the ways, worship, and ordinances of God. The Septuagint and Arabic versions are, “she knows not shame”; but is bold and impudent, having a whore’s forehead, and on it written, “Mystery, Babylon, the mother of harlots, and abominations of the earth”, ( Revelation 17:5).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-18 - How diligent the tempter is, to seduce unwary souls into sin! Carnal sensual pleasure, stupifies conscience, and puts out the sparks of conviction. This tempter has no solid reason to offer; and where sh gets dominion in a soul, all knowledge of holy things is lost an forgotten. She is very violent and pressing. We need to seek and pra for true wisdom, for Satan has many ways to withdraw our souls from Christ. Not only worldly lusts and abandoned seducers prove fatal to the souls of men; but false teachers, with doctrines that flatter prid and give liberty to lusts, destroy thousands. They especially draw of such as have received only partial serious impressions. The depths of Satan are depths of hell; and sin, without remorse, is ruin, rui without remedy. Solomon shows the hook; those that believe him, wil not meddle with the bait. Behold the wretched, empty, unsatisfying deceitful, and stolen pleasure sin proposes; and may our souls be s desirous of the everlasting enjoyment of Christ, that on earth we ma live to him, daily, by faith, and ere long be with him in glory __________________________________________________________________
