“And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?”
Proverbs 5:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 5:20
Why be ravished with a strange woman and embrace an adulteress? The rhetorical question expects negative answer: it makes no sense. When marital satisfaction is available, why pursue adultery? The Hebrew 'nekhar' (foreign/strange) describes the outsider, while 'zarah' (strange woman/adulteress) emphasizes covenant violation. Adultery is irrational - forsaking legitimate pleasure for illegitimate destruction.
