Contextual Overview

20 My sonne, kepe thy fathers commaundement, and forsake not the lawe of thy mother: 21 Tye them continually in thyne heart, and bynde them about thy necke. 22 That shall leade thee when thou goest, preserue thee when thou art asleepe, and when thou awakest talke with thee. 23 For the commaundement is a lanterne, and the lawe a light: yea chastening and nurture is the way of life: 24 That they may kepe thee from the euyll woman, and from the flattering tongue of the straunge woman. 25 Lust not after her beautie in thyne heart, lest thou be taken with her fayre lokes. 26 By an harlot [a man is brought] to beg his bread, and a woman wyll hunte for the pretious life of man. 27 May a man take fire in his bosome, and his clothes not be brent? 28 Or can one go vpon hotte coales, and his feete not be brent? 29 Euen so, whosoeuer goeth in to his neyghbours wife and toucheth her, can not be vngiltie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

To keep thee from the evil woman,.... This is one use of the profit arising from attending to the instructions of parents, and to the law of God, as taught by them; to preserve from fornication and adultery, one of its precepts expressly forbidding adultery and all corporeal uncleanness; and the whole of it directing to an observance of all duties respecting God and our neighbour, which requires diligence and industry, and prevents idleness, that inlet to all sin, and especially to uncleanness k;

from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman; the same with the evil woman, the lewd and adulterous one; see Proverbs 2:16. Jarchi interprets this of idolatry; the character well agrees with the idolatrous church of Rome, or antichrist, represented by a whore,

Revelation 17:1; as this woman is called "the woman of evil" l, for so it may be rendered, one very evil, given up and abandoned to sin; so antichrist is called "the man of sin", 2 Thessalonians 2:3; and as this woman is said to have the "smoothness of a strange tongue" m, as the words may be translated, and are by the Targum; so the religion of this false church is delivered in a strange language the people understand not, by which they are kept in ignorance and deception; now the word of God read and explained in the mother tongue, and especially the Gospel part of it, the doctrine of wisdom, is a means of preserving persons from the errors and heresies, superstition and idolatry, of the church of Rome, and from being carried away with their false glosses, and gaudy worship, and all its deceivable ways of unrighteousness.

k "Otia si tollas periere cupidinis arcus", Ovid. de Remed. Amor. l. 1. v. 139. Quaeritur Aegistheus, "quare sit factus adulter?--in promptu causa est, desidiosus erat". Ibid. v. 161, 162. l מאשת רע "a muliere mali", Baynus, Mercerus, Cocceius, Gejerus, Michaelis. m מחלקת לשון נכריה "a lenitate linguae extraneae", Montanus; "a laevitate linguae peregrinae", Michaelis; "ex lubrica glabritie linguae peregrinae", Schultens.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Evil woman - literally, “woman of evil.” In reading what follows, it must be remembered that the warning is against the danger of the sin of the adulterous wife.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 6:24. To keep thee from the evil woman — Solomon had suffered sorely from this quarter; and hence his repeated cautions and warnings to others. The strange woman always means one that is not a man's own; and sometimes it may also imply a foreign harlot, one who is also a stranger to the God of Israel.
