Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - She standeth in the top of high places, by the way. She takes her stand, not in thievish corners of the streets, like the harlot, but in the most open and elevated parts of the city, where she may be best seen and heard by all who pass by (see Proverbs 1:21, and note there). In the places of the paths; i.e. where many paths converge, and where people meet from different quarters.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) She standeth in the top of high places.--i.e., in the higher parts of the city, where her voice will best be heard.By the way . . .--She goes everywhere where she may find the greatest concourse of people, "God not being willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2Peter 3:9). So the apostles made large centres of population such as Antioch, Ephesus, or Corinth, the headquarters of their missionary enterprise.
