On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Her house, though richly decked and furnished, and called a house of pleasure, is the way to hell; and her chambers are the stair-case that goes down to the chambers of death and everlasting darkness.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. 4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: 5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words. These verses are an introduction to his warning against fleshly lusts, much the same with that, ch. vi.
