Pr 7:2
7:2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the {a} apple
    of thy eye.

    (a) By this diversity of words, he means that nothing should
        be so dear to us as the word of God, nor that we look on
        anything more nor mind anything so much.

Pr 7:6
7:6 {b} For at the window of my house I looked through my
    casement,

    (b) Solomon uses this parable to declare their folly, who
        allow themselves to be abused by harlots.

Pr 7:9
7:9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the {c} black and dark
    night:

    (c) He shows that there was almost no one so impudent that
        they were not afraid to be seen, their consciences
        accusing them and causing them to seek the night to
        cover their filthiness.

Pr 7:11
7:11 (She {d} [is] loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her
     house:

     (d) He describes certain conditions, which are peculiar to
         harlots.

Pr 7:14
7:14 [I have] {e} peace offerings with me; this {f} day have I
     paid my vows.

     (e) Because in peace offerings a portion is returned to
         them that offered, she shows him that she has meat at
         home to make good cheer with or else she would use some
         cloak of holiness till she had gotten him in her
         snares.
     (f) Which declares that harlots outwardly will seem holy
         and religious: both because they may better deceive
         others, and also thinking to observe ceremonies and
         offerings to make satisfaction for their sins.

Pr 7:22
7:22 He goeth after her quickly, as an {g} ox goeth to the
     slaughter, or {h} as a fool to the correction of the
     stocks;

     (g) Which thinking he goes to the pasture goes willingly to
         his own destruction.
     (h) Who goes cheerfully, not knowing that he will be
         chastised.

Pr 7:26
7:26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many {i} strong
     [men] have been slain by her.

     (i) Neither wit nor strength can deliver them who fall into
         the hands of the harlot.
