Charles Ellicott Commentary Proverbs 7:16

"I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, With striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt." — Proverbs 7:16 (ASV)

Carved works.— Rather, with coloured or striped coverlets. For another notice of the extravagance of the women of Jerusalem, see Isaiah 3:0, and for a description of the trade of Tyre, the great supplier of foreign luxuries, see Ezekiel 27. Myrrh is said to be a natural product of Arabia, aloes and cinnamon of the east coast of Africa and Ceylon.
