Footnotes

1. Proverbs 5:20 tn In the interrogative clause the imperfect has a deliberative nuance.
2. Proverbs 5:20 tn Heb “foreigner” (so ASV, NASB), but this does not mean that the woman is non-Israelite. This term describes a woman who is outside the moral boundaries of the covenant community—she is another man’s wife, but since she acts with moral abandonment she is called “foreign.”
