To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the stranger's tongue.
Clarke's Proverbs 6:24 Bible Commentary
To keep thee from the evil woman - Solomon had suffered sorely from this quarter; and hence his repeated cautions and warnings to others. The strange woman always means one that is not a man's own; and sometimes it may also imply a foreign harlot, one who is also a stranger to the God of Israel.
Barnes's Proverbs 6:24 Bible Commentary
Evil woman - literally, "woman of evil." In reading what follows, it must be remembered that the warning is against the danger of the sin of the adulterous wife.
