Proverbs chapter 7

vs 10

Note that although she might be dressed like a prostitute, that doesn't necessarily make her so. But she had a crafty intent, and so whether she's a prostitute or an adultress, she is attempting to tempt the young man.

vs 11

This definitely makes it sound like she is married, but that she doesn't take the marriage vows seriously - defying her husband's authority. Never at home - it could mean that she is just away from home a lot - that in itself could be a rebellious thing for women in that culture.

vs 12

In fact, that seems to be the suggestion in this verse - that rather than being at home like a good wife, she's on display on the street corners like a prostitute.

vs 13

Brazen face - I guess the fact that she is prepared to kiss this young man in public, not to mention flaunt herself in prostitute's clothes and stand on street corners. She is acting in direct contravention of cultural norms, as well as God's laws.

vs 14

She means she has done religious service! She is tempting him with food from a sacrifice. I mean, talk about low. "Hey baby, I've got what's left of the communion wine. Come around and let's party."

vs 15

She makes it sound like she is looking for him specifically. Perhaps she is, perhaps she was just looking for someone to share her communion wine with.

Yes, I know it's anachronistic.

vs 16

Pretty bald reference to the bed there.

vs 17

There's another one. That bed is being made out to sound mighty comfy.

vs 18

Well, I think from the context it's pretty obvious what kind of love she's talking about.
