Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 2:16

16. To deliver thee from the strange woman , even from the stranger which flattereth with her words .

From the Adulteress or Whore, called strange, partly because such Persons were commonly Heathens or are supposed to be such by reason of that severe Law against these practices in Israelitish women, Deut. 23. 17. or are justly reputed Heathens, as being degenerate Israelites, which are oft called Strangers, as hath been noted in the book of the Psalms: and partly because conversation with such Persons is forbidden to men, as those Israelites which were not Levites are called Strangers, Numb. 1. 51. in respect of the Holy things which they were prohibited to touch? and forbidden Fire is called strange fire, Num. 3. 4.

Which useth all arts and ways to allure men to unchast actions: one kind being put for all the rest.
