_ _ the strange woman — This term is often used for harlot, or loose woman (Judges 11:1, Judges 11:2), married (Proverbs 7:5, Proverbs 7:19) or not (1 Kings 11:1), so called, because such were, perhaps at first, foreigners, though “strange” may also denote whatever is opposed to right or proper, as “strange fire” (Numbers 3:4); “strange incense” (Exodus 30:9).
_ _ flattereth — literally, “smooths.”
_ _ her words — (Psalms 5:9). |
