Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 5:1
Jamieson's short summary of this chapter is: "Here is a warning against the seductive arts of wicked women, enforced by considering the blessings and advantages of chastity, and the miserable end of the wicked,"[1]Walls subdivided the chapter as follows:(1) the teacher's appeal for strict attention (Proverbs 5:1-2),(2) a description of the loose woman (Proverbs 5:3-6),(3) an injunction to avoid her (Proverbs 5:7-8),(4) a warning of that which befalls her victims (Proverbs 5:9-14), a call to... read more

DESCRIPTION OF THE LOOSE WOMAN"For the lips of a strange woman drop honey,And her mouth is smoother than oil.But in the end she is bitter as wormwood,Sharp as a two-edged sword.Her feet go down to death;Her steps take hold on Sheol;So that she findeth not the level path of life:Her ways are unstable, and she knoweth it not.""The lips of a strange woman" (Proverbs 5:3). "This is any woman who is not thine own, whether Jewess or heathen."[5]"Drop honey" (Proverbs 5:3). This is a metaphor to... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 5:7
AN INJUNCTION TO AVOID THE STRANGE WOMAN"Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me.And depart not from the words of my mouth.Remove thy way far from her,And come not nigh the door of her house."There are some temptations that must be avoided in order to be successfully resisted; and fornication, adultery and related vices are in that category. The New Testament echoes the same admonition. "Flee youthful lusts" (2 Timothy 2:22). "Obedience to this injunction might very well require that we should... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 5:1
Proverbs 5:1. My son attend, &c.— There being nothing to which youth is so prone as to give up themselves to their fleshly desires, and nothing so pernicious to them as to converse with harlots, the wise man renews his cautions against impure lusts, as destructive of true wisdom; and with repeated entreaties begs attention to so weighty an argument, which here he prosecutes more largely, and presses not only with singular elegance, but powerful reasoning. The principal things to be learned... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 5:2-3
Proverbs 5:2-3. That thy lips may keep knowledge— The LXX read, The understanding of my lips commands thee; have nothing to do with a strange woman; for honey distilleth from the lips of a woman who is a fornicator, which may for a time fatten thy cheeks. See Wall and Houbigant. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 5:6
Proverbs 5:6. Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life— Houbigant renders this, She is far from following the way of life: her steps wander whither she herself knoweth not: which is very like the Chaldee. The design of the wise man seems to be, to point out the inconstancy, irregularity, and wickedness, of the strange woman's life. Her ways are inconstant; she is not attached to her husband, or to any one man, but abandons herself to the first comer; has neither knowledge, wisdom, nor... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Proverbs 5:3
a strange woman. Two words are used for "strange" and "stranger": one, Hebrew. zur, an apostate Israelite woman gone over to the idolatrous impurities of heathen religion; the other nakar, a purely foreign woman of a similar character. The danger is religious rather than moral. Hence here it is zur. See note on Proverbs 2:16 . drop as an honeycomb = distil honey. The invitations of religious idolatry suit the tastes of the natural man. read more
