Albert Barnes Commentary Proverbs 9:14

"And she sitteth at the door of her house, On a seat in the high places of the city," — Proverbs 9:14 (ASV)

Contrast with Proverbs 9:1 and following. The foolish woman has her house, but it is not a stately palace with seven pillars, like the home of Wisdom. No train of maidens waits on her and invites her guests, but she herself sits at the door, her position as prominent as that of Wisdom, counterfeiting her voice, making the same offer to the same class (compare Proverbs 9:16 with Proverbs 9:4).
