Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 7:8

8. Passing through the street near her corner , and he went the way to her house .

Idle and careless.

Near the corner of the Street in which her House stood, such places being most convenient for that wicked purpose, as giving opportunity either for the discovery of Passengers in several Streets, or for the escape of such as might be in danger of being taken in her House. Comp. v. 12.

Not with intention to act gross filthiness with her as may be gathered from the following passages, but to gratifie his curiosity, and to understand the manner of such Persons, and to please himself with the fight of her, or discourse of her.
