Contextual Overview
6 From the window of my house, I once happened to see 7 some foolish young men. 8 It was late in the evening, sometime after dark. 9 One of these young men turned the corner and was walking by the house of an unfaithful wife. 10 She was dressed fancy like a woman of the street with only one thing in mind. 11 She was one of those women who are loud and restless and never stay at home, 12 who walk street after street, waiting to trap a man. 13 She grabbed him and kissed him, and with no sense of shame, she said: 14 "I had to offer a sacrifice, and there is enough meat left over for a feast. 15 So I came looking for you, and here you are!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore came I forth to meet thee,.... Having so much good cheer at home, and none to eat of it with her; and having so fond and affectionate a regard to this young man, as she pretended; he being the only person in her thoughts, whom she hoped to meet with, and whose company she desired, and his only; though, had she met any other, she would have said the same things to them. Aben Ezra, upon Proverbs 7:14, says, she told him lies; probably that might be true; but this was no doubt a lie; and it is no unusual thing for the whore of Rome to speak lies in hypocrisy, 1 Timothy 4:2;
diligently to seek thy face; which of all faces she desired to see, being most lovely to her; with the comeliness of which she was exceedingly taken and ravished, and got up betimes in the morning, as the word n signifies, even before day, to seek for him;
and I have found thee; which she speaks with a rapture and ecstasy of joy; blessing herself on this happy occasion, that she should come out so opportunely, and find him so quickly; intimating, that it was a kind providence, and that the thing was of God: so conversions to the antichristian church, which are the artifice of hell, are ascribed to the divine Being.
