This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_7:10 And, behold, there met him a woman [with] the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
Ver. 10. And behold there met him a woman.] Fit lettuce for such lips, a fit handle for such a hatchet. Every corner is full of such dust heaps, the land is even darkened with them, as Egypt once was with the locusts. {Exo_10:15}
With the attire of an harlot.] {See Trapp on "Pro_6:25"} The Hebrew word here signifies a set habit or ornament finely fitted to the body: vestitus in quo plicae, saith Lavater, plaited tarments, plaited hair, &c. Let such take heed of the plica poloniea, that dreadful disease.
And subtile of heart.] Or, Trussed up about the breasts, with her upper parts naked. So Levi Ben. Gersom: Erat nudo collo et pectore, corde tenus, &c. She met him with her naked breasts; at this day too commonly used by such as would be held no harlots.
