Charles Ellicott Commentary Proverbs 7:8

"Passing through the street near her corner; And he went the way to her house," — Proverbs 7:8 (ASV)

And he went the way ...—The word is used of the slow step of a religious procession (2 Samuel 6:13), here of the sauntering of the idle youth up and down the street within view of the temptress’s house.
