Albert Barnes Commentary Proverbs 22:14

"The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: He that is abhorred of Jehovah shall fall therein." — Proverbs 22:14 (ASV)

The fall of the man into the snare of the harlot seems to be the consequence of the abhorrence or wrath of Yahweh. That abhorrence is, however, the result of previous evil. The man is left to himself, and sin becomes the penalty of sin.
