1. Pro 7:12 – “Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)”
- Now is she without,
- Without adv. – I. Outside, in various senses: opp. to within adv. Now only literary and somewhat arch.
- The strange woman doesn’t abide in her house (Pro 7:11).
- It’s pretty hard to entice a man to commit adultery with her if she remains at home, so she heads out after her husband leaves (Pro 7:19).
- now in the streets,
- Whores have been walking the streets for thousands of years.
- Wisdom cries in the streets to call men to repentance (Pro 1:20).
- The strange woman roams the streets to call men to sin.
- and lieth in wait at every corner.
- Just like a criminal lies in wait to rob and kill his victim (Pro 1:11), and false teachers lie in wait to deceive (Eph 4:14), so the strange woman lies in wait (Pro 23:28) to deceive and kill her victim (Pro 7:21-23).
- Whores have been standing on street corners trying to entice men to commit adultery for thousands of years.
