Contextual Overview

¹ My sonne geue heede vnto my wisdome, and bowe thyne eare vnto my prudence: ² That thou mayest regarde good counsell, and that thy lippes may kepe knowledge. ³ For the lippes of a straunge woman are a dropping hony combe, and her throte is more glistering then oyle: ⁴ But at the laste she is as bitter as wormewood, and as sharpe as a two edged sworde. ⁵ Her feete go downe vnto death, and her steppes pearce thorowe vnto hell. ⁶ Perchaunce thou wylt ponder the path of her lyfe: so vnstedfast are her wayes that thou canst not know them. ⁷ Heare me nowe therefore O ye chyldren, and depart not from the wordes of my mouth. ⁸ Kepe thy way farre from her, & come not nigh the doores of her house. ⁹ That thou geue not thy honour vnto other, and thy yeres to the cruell: ¹⁰ That other men be not filled with thy vertues, and that thy labours come not in a straunge house.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life,.... Consider and meditate which is the way to get out of her hands and ways, and escape death, and obtain eternal life; lest those she has drawn into her wicked course of life should be religiously inclined, and think of quitting such a course, and inquire after the way of life and salvation; and be weighing in their minds which is most eligible, to continue with her whose feet lead to death, or to take the path of life: to prevent all this, if possible,

her ways are movable: she appears in different shapes; changes her dress and habitation; makes use of a thousand arts to ensnare men, to entangle their affections, and retain them in her nets; she first puts them upon one thing, and then on another; she leads them into various mazes and labyrinths of sin, till they have lost all sense of religion, and sight of the path of life;

[that] thou canst not know [them]; her ways, arts, and devices. Or, "thou canst not know" k; that is, the way of life, or how to get out of her ways into that. Or, "thou knowest not"; where she goes, whither she leads thee, and what will be the end and issue of such a course of life. The Targum understands it, and so some other interpreters, of the harlot herself, paraphrasing the whole thus;

"in the way of life she walks not; her ways are unstable, and she knows not''

the way of life, nor where her ways will end; or, "cares not" l what becomes of her. And so, in like manner, the former part of the verse is understood and interpreted, "lest she ponder the path of life" m; or as others, "she does not ponder the path of life" n; The ways of the antichristian harlot are with all deceivableness of unrighteousness; and her chief care is to keep persons in ignorance, and from pondering the path of life or true religion, and to retain them in her idolatry, 2 Thessalonians 2:9.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Or (with the Septuagint and Vulgate), Lest she should ponder (or “She ponders not”) the way of life, her paths move to and fro (unsteady as an earthquake); she knows not. The words describe with a terrible vividness the state of heart and soul which prostitution brings upon its victims; the reckless blindness that will not think, tottering on the abyss, yet loud in its defiant mirth, ignoring the dreadful future.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 5:6. Lest thou shouldest ponder — To prevent thee from reflecting on thy present conduct, and its consequences, her ways are moveable - she continually varies her allurements.

Thou canst not know them. — It is impossible to conceive all her tricks and wiles: to learn these in all their varieties, is a part of the science first taught in that infernal trade.
