Commentary

Commentary on Proverbs 5:3

Theological / Devotional

Strange woman. See on ch. 2:16.

As an honeycomb. The words of temptation are smooth and sweet to the ears because they are carefully calculated to appeal to the inherited and cultivated weakness of mankind. An example of such words is given in ch. 7:14–20.
