Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerses 13-18. - This section contains the invitation of Folly, the rival of Wisdom, represented under the guise of an adulteress (Proverbs 2:16; Proverbs 5:3, etc.; Proverbs 6:24, etc.; Proverbs 7.). Verse 13. - I foolish woman; literally, the woman of folly, the genitive being that of apposition, so that this may well be rendered, in order to make the contrast with Wisdom more marked, "the woman Folly." She is regarded as a real person; and between her and Virtue man has to make his choice. Is clamorous; turbulent and animated by passion (as Proverbs 7:11), quite different from her calm, dignified rival. She is simple; Hebrew, "simplicity," in a bad sense; she has no preservative against evil, no moral fibre to resist temptation. And knoweth nothing which she ought to know. Ignorance is the natural accompaniment of Folly: in this case it is wilful and persistent; she goes on her way reckless of consequences. Septuagint, "A woman foolish and bold, who knows not shame, comes to want a morsel."

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) A foolish woman.--Rather, the Foolish woman; Folly personified, in opposition to Wisdom described above.Clamorous.--Not of dignified mien, as her rival.Simple.--Heb., simplicity, i.e., she is simplicity itself.And knoweth nothing.--And so leaves room for all evil to enter in and dwell with her (Matthew 12:45); thus she perishes, like Israel, for "lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6).
