10 When wisdome entreth into thine heart, and thy soule deliteth in knowledge: 11 Then shall counsayle preserue thee, and vnderstandyng shall kepe thee, 12 That thou mayest be deliuered from the euyll way, and from the man that speaketh frowarde thynges: 13 From such as leaue the wayes of righteousnesse, to walke in the wayes of darknesse: 14 Which reioyce in doyng naught, and delite in the wickednesse of the euyll: 15 Whose wayes are croked, and they frowarde in their pathes. 16 That thou mayest be deliuered also from the straunge woman, and from her that is not thine owne, which geueth sweete wordes, 17 Forsaketh the husbande of her youth, & forgetteth the couenaunt of her God. 18 For her house is enclined vnto death, and her pathes vnto hell. 19 All they that go in vnto her, come not agayne, neither take they holde of the way of lyfe.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

To deliver thee from the strange woman,.... As the Gospel of Christ and its doctrines, or the instructions of wisdom, are a means of delivering persons from the evil man, his company, ways, and works; so from a naughty woman, an adulteress, called a "strange" woman; not because of another nation, or unknown, but because she belongs to another person, and not to him whom she entices into her embraces. Gersom interprets this of the sensitive appetite, and Jarchi of idolatry; as others do also of superstition and all false doctrine, and everything that is contrary to true wisdom; and the whole that is here and afterwards said may well enough be applied to the whore of Rome, from whose fornication, or spiritual adultery, that is, idolatry, will worship, and antichristian doctrines, the Gospel delivers men; see Proverbs 7:5, c.

[even] from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words that useth smooth and soft words to work upon the passions, move the affections, and win the hearts of men; and ensnare them and draw them to commit wickedness with her; see Proverbs 5:3; and so antichrist, and all false teachers and heretics, with good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple, Romans 16:18.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The second great evil, the warnings against which are frequent (see the marginal reference). Two words are used to describe the class.

(1) “The strange woman” is one who does not belong to the family, one who by birth is outside the covenant of Israel.

(2) “The stranger” is none other than a foreigner.

It is the word used of the “strange” wives of Solomon 1Ki 11:1, 1 Kings 11:8, and of those of the Jews who returned from Babylon (Ezra 10:0; passim). The two words together, in connection with those which follow, and which imply at once marriage and a profession of religious faith, point to some interesting facts in the social history of Israel. Whatever form the sin here referred to had assumed before the monarchy (and the Book of Judges testifies to its frequency), the contact with Phoenicians and other nations under Solomon had a strong tendency to increase it. The king’s example would naturally be followed, and it probably became a fashion to have foreign wives and concubines. At first, it would seem, this was accompanied by some show of proselytism Proverbs 2:17; but the old pagan leaven (influence) presently broke out; the sensual worship of other gods led the way to a life of harlotry. The stringent laws of the Mosaic code Leviticus 19:29; Leviticus 21:9; Deuteronomy 23:18 probably deterred the women of Israel from that sin, and led to a higher standard of purity among them than prevailed among other nations.

Most interpreters have, however, generalized the words as speaking of any adulteress. The Septuagint as if reluctant to speak of facts so shameful, has allegorized them, and seen in the temptress the personification of “evil counsel.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 2:16. The stranger which flattereth with her words — החליקה hechelikah, she that smooths with her words. The original intimates the glib, oily speeches of a prostitute. The English lick is supposed to be derived from the original word.
