Proverbs 7

Live - Thou shalt live. Eye - With all possible care and diligence. Bind them - As a ring which is continually in a man's eye. And call - Acquaint and delight thyself with her. Passing - Idle and careless, near the corner of the street in which her house stood. Without - Without the door of her house. Corner - Of the streets, where she might either conceal or discover herself, as she saw fit. Offerings - I have paid my peace - offerings which I had vowed. Whereby she signifies, that she had plentiful provisions at her house for his entertainment. For the peace - offerings were to be of the best flesh, Lev 22:21, and a considerable part of these offerings fell to the offerer's share. Hath taken - Which is an evidence that he designs to stay a considerable time. At the day - So that we need not fear any surprise. As an ox - Going to it securely, as if it were going to a good pasture. His liver - His vital parts, 'till his life be lost.
