Commentary on Proverbs 9:13

Theological / Devotional

A foolish woman. In contrast with the call of the good woman, who represents wisdom, Solomon presents the noisy, passionate call of folly. Every man must make his choice between these two.

Simple. The word is here obviously used in a bad sense as denoting a lack of moral fiber (see on ch. 8:5). The woman knows nothing that she ought to know. The LXX has a different reading, “A foolish and bold woman, who knows not modesty, comes to want a morsel.”
