Albert Barnes Commentary Proverbs 9:13

"The foolish woman is clamorous; [She is] simple, and knoweth nothing." — Proverbs 9:13 (ASV)

The picture of the harlot as the representative of the sensual life, the Folly between which and Wisdom the young man has to make his choice (Proverbs 9:3, note). “Simple,” in the worst sense, as open to all forms of evil. “Knoweth nothing,” ignorant with the ignorance which is willful and reckless.
