Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Proverbs 7:11

(She [is] loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

11. loud ] or clamorous, R.V., as the word is rendered in the parallel passage Pro 9:13, A.V.

stubborn ] Rather, refractory, like a restive animal, as the same Heb. word is used of a heifer that casts off all restraint, Hos 4:16, where R.V. renders stubborn, though here wilful. Comp. our expression, unbridled lust.

Loud and stubborn – Both words describe the half-animal signs of a vicious nature. Compare Hos 4:16.

Verse 11. She is loud and stubborn] homiyah, she is never at rest, always agitated; busily employed to gain her end, and this is to go into the path of error: sorereth, “turning aside;” preferring any way to the right way. And, therefore, it is added, her feet abide not in her house; she gads abroad; and this disposition probably first led her to this vice.

Loud, or clamorous, or full of talk, which served her design.

Stubborn; rebellious against God, and against her husband, and incorrigible by all admonitions of ministers or friends.

Her feet abide not in her house; she minds not her business, which lies at home, but gives up herself wholly to idleness and pleasure, which she seeks abroad with other men.

She [is] loud and stubborn,…. “Loud”; not that her voice may be heard, and so be found by those that seek her in the dark, as Aben Ezra interprets it; but rather clamorous, noisy, and talkative, when she has got her gallant with her; pouring out foolish and unchaste words to allure and entice him; unless it is to be understood of her bawling and scolding, when within doors, at her husband, in order to get him out, and be rid of him; to whom she is “stubborn” or “rebellious”, as the Targum, breaking covenant with him, and disobeying his commands; and departing from him, declining out of the way, as Jarchi; speaking rebellion, as Aben Ezra: all which agree with the whore of Rome, who is rebellious against Christ, whose spouse she professes to be; is perfidious to him, disobedient to his commandments; is gone out of the way of his truths and ordinances, and publishes and encourages everything that is contrary thereunto; as well as has a mouth speaking blasphemies, Re 13:5;

her feet abide not in her house; to attend the business of it; but site is gadding abroad to seek her lovers, and bring them in; it is the character of good women that they are keepers at home, but it is the sign of a harlot to gad abroad, which is enlarged upon in Pr 7:11.

(11) Her feet abide not in her house.She is not a keeper at home, as St. Paul (Tit. 2:5) would have Christian matrons to be.

11, 12. Loud stubborn Or, reckless, turbulent, and refractory; in Hos 4:16, rendered backsliding. The idea is that of a wild heifer that will not submit to the yoke; this woman will not be restrained, but is ever gadding about always a bad sign, in woman or man; whereas chastity is associated (Tit 2:5) with keeping at home.

Pro 7:11 (She [is] loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

Ver. 11. Her feet abide not in her house. ] As the modest woman’s do, Tit 2:5 who is therefore called domiporta, set forth by the snail, which carries her house on her back, and compared to the vine, that grows by the house side. Psa 128:3 The Egyptian women wear no shoes, that they might the better keep home. Of the Italian women it is said, that they are magpies at the door, saints in the church, goats in the garden, devils in the house, angels in the streets, and sirens in the windows. a
