Albert Barnes Commentary Proverbs 7:14

"Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me; This day have I paid my vows." — Proverbs 7:14 (ASV)

This pretense of a religious feast gives us an insight into some strange features of popular religion under the monarchy of Judah. The harlot uses the technical term (Leviticus 3:1) for the “peace-offerings,” and makes them the starting point for her sin. They have to be eaten on the same day that they are offered (Leviticus 7:15–16), and she invites her victim to the feast.

The one who speaks is a “foreigner” who, with an appearance of conformity to the religion of Israel, still retains her old views (see note on Proverbs 2:16). To her, a feast day is nothing but a time of self-indulgence, which she may invite another to share with her. If we assume, as is probable, that these harlots of Jerusalem were mainly of Phoenician origin, the connection of their worship with their sin would be merely the continuation of their original cultus.
