箴言 7:12-15 CUVS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 7:15-20

Proverbs 7:15-20. Therefore came I forth to meet thee As not being able to take any pleasure in my feast without thy company; and I have found thee By a happy providence of God complying with my desires, to my great joy, I have found thee speedily and most opportunely. Thus this wicked woman pretended that she came forth on purpose to meet this youth, from a peculiar affection, as if she had had a prior acquaintance and intimacy with him. I have decked my bed, &c. She desires to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 7:1-27

More about sexual misbehaviour (6:20-7:27)Sometimes teaching can be so well known that people no longer take any notice of it. Therefore, they must remind themselves to be obedient to familiar truths (20-22). One matter concerning which the writer repeats his earlier warnings is sexual immorality. Offenders are merely destroying themselves (23-29). People may not despise a desperately hungry person who steals food; nevertheless, the person must be dealt with and made to repay (with interest)... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 7:14

Proverbs 7:14. I have peace-offerings with me— This woman was the more abominable, as she covered her lewdness with the mask of piety and devotion. There were three sorts of peace-offerings. See Leviticus 7:11; Leviticus 12:8. Bishop Patrick takes these mentioned here to have been the last of them; offerings of thanksgiving for blessings already obtained; not of prayer for blessings not yet received: and his reason is, because she was so solicitous to have company at her feast upon this very... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 7:13

13-15. The preparations for a feast do not necessarily imply peculiar religious professions. The offerer retained part of the victim for a feast ( :-, &c.). This feast she professes was prepared for him whom she boldly addresses as one sought specially to partake of it. read more

The Bad WomanA picture drawn from life of the enticing of a young man by a wicked woman.2. The apple] lit. ’the little man’ of the eye, so called because an image is reflected from the pupil of the eye. It is a figure for the most precious and delicate things (Deuteronomy 32:10; Psalms 17:8). 3. The Jews wear a long leather band twisted round the arm and fingers during prayer. Passages of Scripture written on parchment and enclosed in a small leather box are at the same time worn on the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Proverbs 7:14

(14) I have peace offerings with me.—Rather, upon me, i.e., I had vowed them, and to-day I have accomplished my vow. The peace-, or thank-offering as it is also rendered, was purely voluntary, in token of thanksgiving for some mercy. The breast and right shoulder of the victim were given to the priest, and the rest belonged to the offerer, who was thus admitted, as it were, to feast with God (Leviticus 3:7), profanation of this privilege being punished with death. Peace-offerings were... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 7:1-27

CHAPTER 8REALISM IN MORAL TEACHING"I looked forth through my lattice; and I beheld." Proverbs 7:6THE three chapters which close the introduction of our book (7-9) present a lively and picturesque contrast between Folly and Wisdom-Folly more especially in the form of vice; Wisdom more generally in her highest and most universal intention. Folly is throughout concrete, an actual woman portrayed with such correctness of detail that she is felt as a personal force. Wisdom, on the other band, is... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Proverbs 7:1-27

CHAPTER 7 The entire chapter is a continuation of the strange woman and the warning against her. The Word and the law of the Lord will keep the obedient son from her. If Solomon had obeyed the Word of God, not to multiply wives (Deuteronomy 17:17 ) his end would not have been spent in the degrading fellowship with the harlots of other nations. The description is very graphic. What the word pictures is as prominent in the great centers of Christendom as it was thousands of years ago in Babylon... read more

7:14 [I have] {e} peace offerings with me; this {f} day have I paid my vows.(e) Because in peace offerings a portion is returned to them that offered, she shows him that she has meat at home to make good cheer with or else she would use some cloak of holiness till she had gotten him in her snares.(f) Which declares that harlots outwardly will seem holy and religious: both because they may better deceive others, and also thinking to observe ceremonies and offerings to make satisfaction for their... read more
