What does the Bible say about the strange woman in Proverbs?
Answered in 2 sources
The strange woman in Proverbs symbolizes false religion and the dangers of following a works-based gospel.
In Proverbs 5, the strange woman represents not only physical temptation but also a deeper spiritual warning against false gospels. Solomon warns that the lips of the strange woman are sweet, like honey, but ultimately lead to bitterness and death. This illustrates the allure of false religion, which appeals to the flesh but ultimately leads one away from the truth found in Christ. The strange woman signifies the mixture of law and grace that leaves individuals in a state of confusion and instability, unlike the firm foundation provided by the gospel of Jesus.
