Proverbs9:13
13. A foolish woman is clamorous , she is simple and knoweth nothing .
By which he understands, either 1. folly, which is opposite to that VVisdom of which he hath been so long discoursing, and so it may include all wickedness, either in principle, as Idolatry, Heresy, &c. or in practice. Or 2. the Harlot: which with submission, seems most probable to me, partly because all the following decription exactly agrees to her, especially what is said, v. 17. as also v. 18. which in effect was said of the Harlot before, Ch. 2. 18. & 5. 5. and partly because such transitions from discoursing of VVisdom, to a discourse of Harlots are frequent in Solomon, as we have seen Ch. 2. 16. & 5. 3. & 7. 5.
Speaks loudly that she may be heard and vehemently that Persons might be moved by her persuasions.
To wit, aright, nothing that is good, nothing for her good, though she be subtil in little artifices for her own wicked ends.
