Commentary on Proverbs 5:20

Theological / Devotional

Strange woman. How different is this infatuation from true love. Love deepens and becomes richer with the years, but a sinful attachment quickly becomes an unwanted entanglement that brings the sorrows described in earlier verses. Why should a man let himself be drawn into such a snare?
