Contextual Overview

6 For at the windowe of my house I loked through the windowe, 7 And behelde among the simple people and among the chyldren a young man voyde of wyt, 8 Goyng ouer the streate by the corner in the way towarde her house 9 In the twylight of the euening, when it began nowe to be night and darke: 10 And behold there met hym a woman with open tokens of an harlot, onlye her heart was hid: 11 She was full of loude wordes and redye to dallie, whose feete coulde not abide in the house: 12 Nowe is she without, nowe in the streates, and lyeth in wayte at euery corner. 13 She caught hym and kissed him, and was not ashamed, saying: 14 I had a vowe of peace offeringes to pay, and this day I perfourme it: 15 Therefore came I foorth to meete thee, that I might seeke thy face, and so haue I founde thee.

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.

n לשחר "ad quaerendum mane", Montanus.
