SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:12
unas veces de fuera, o bien por las plazas, acechando por todas las esquinas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 7:12
Verse 12. Now is she without ] She is continually exposing herself, and showing by her gait and gestures what she is, and what she wants. These two verses are a parenthesis, intended to show the character of the woman.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. Now [is she] without , etc.] The word for whore is sometimes rendered in the Targum one that goes abroad, or without her house; sitting or standing at the door of it, in an idle posture, and in order to invite her lovers in; and if she can get none this way, or quickly, grows impatient: she is now in the streets ; takes her walks abroad in the streets of the city, to see who she can light of, to pick up and bring home; and lieth in wait at every corner ; of the street, where more ways meet, sometimes at one corner, and sometimes at another, that she may take all that comes; sometimes she is “without” in the fields, and in the country, to see what she can meet with there; and sometimes in the “streets” of the city, and in the populous places of it, in the markets, and courts, and in every private corner, trying all ways to gain lovers, and satisfy her lust f178 : all which may represent the diligence and industry, art and cunning, of the Romish emissaries to gain proselytes to their idolatrous worship, who everywhere lie in wait to deceive.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-27 - Here is an affecting example of the danger of youthful lusts. It is history or a parable of the most instructive kind. Will any one dare to venture on temptations that lead to impurity, after Solomon has se before his eyes in so lively and plain a manner, the danger of eve going near them? Then is he as the man who would dance on the edge of lofty rock, when he has just seen another fall headlong from the sam place. The misery of self-ruined sinners began in disregard to God' blessed commands. We ought daily to pray that we may be kept from running into temptation, else we invite the enemies of our souls to spread snares for us. Ever avoid the neighbourhood of vice. Beware of sins which are said to be pleasant sins. They are the more dangerous because they most easily gain the heart, and close it agains repentance. Do nothing till thou hast well considered the end of it Were a man to live as long as Methuselah, and to spend all his days in the highest delights sin can offer, one hour of the anguish an tribulation that must follow, would far outweigh them __________________________________________________________________
