Bede, on Prov 7:10

Bede · A.D. 673–735
Prov 7:10 · Douay-Rheims
“And behold a woman meeteth him in harlot’s attire prepared to deceive souls; talkative and wandering,”
On this verse:
“And behold, a woman meets him in the attire of a harlot, etc. These all clearly relate to the literal sense of harlotry; however, heretical doctrine attempts to deceive anyone it finds careless and foolish. It indeed appears in harlot's attire, because it shines with unclean eloquence. It is prepared to capture souls, for it spiritually kills whomever it can associate with it.”
