Contextual Overview

6 For I was at the window of my house, glancing out through the lattice, 7 when I saw among the young men there, among those who don't think for themselves, a young fellow devoid of all sense. 8 He crosses the street near her corner and continues on toward her house. 9 Dusk turns into evening, and finally night, dark and black. 10 Then a woman approaches him, dressed as a prostitute, wily of heart. 11 She's the coarse, impulsive type, whose feet don't stay at home; 12 rather, she stalks the streets and squares, lurking at every streetcorner. 13 She grabs him, gives him a kiss, and, brazen-faced, she says to him, 14 "I had to offer peace sacrifices, and I fulfilled my vows today. 15 This is why I came out to meet you, to look for you; now I've found you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

She [is] loud and stubborn,.... "Loud"; not that her voice may be heard, and so be found by those that seek her in the dark, as Aben Ezra interprets it; but rather clamorous, noisy, and talkative, when she has got her gallant with her; pouring out foolish and unchaste words to allure and entice him; unless it is to be understood of her bawling and scolding, when within doors, at her husband, in order to get him out, and be rid of him; to whom she is "stubborn" or "rebellious", as the Targum, breaking covenant with him, and disobeying his commands; and departing from him, declining out of the way, as Jarchi; speaking rebellion, as Aben Ezra: all which agree with the whore of Rome, who is rebellious against Christ, whose spouse she professes to be; is perfidious to him, disobedient to his commandments; is gone out of the way of his truths and ordinances, and publishes and encourages everything that is contrary thereunto; as well as has a mouth speaking blasphemies, Revelation 13:5;

her feet abide not in her house; to attend the business of it; but site is gadding abroad to seek her lovers, and bring them in; it is the character of good women that they are keepers at home, but it is the sign of a harlot to gad abroad, which is enlarged upon in Proverbs 7:11.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Loud and stubborn - Both words describe the half-animal signs of a vicious nature. Compare Hosea 4:16.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 7:11. She is loud and stubborn — המיה homiyah, she is never at rest, always agitated; busily employed to gain her end, and this is to go into the path of error: סררת sorereth, "turning aside;" preferring any way to the right way. And, therefore, it is added, her feet abide not in her house; she gads abroad; and this disposition probably first led her to this vice.
