Context of Proverbs 7:14
12At times she was outside, at times in the open square, Lurking at every corner. 13So she caught him and kissed him; With an impudent face she said to him: “I have peace offerings with me; Today I have paid my vows. 15So I came out to meet you, Diligently to seek your face, And I have found you. 16I have spread my bed with tapestry, Colored coverings of Egyptian linen.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 14I have peace-offerings with me - More literally, "the sacrifices of the peace-offerings are with me."

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14This pretence of a religious feast gives us an insight into some strange features of popular religion under the monarchy of Judah.

They have to be eaten on the same day that they are offered Leviticus 7:15-16, and she invites her victim to the feast. She who speaks is a “foreigner” who, under a show of conformity to the religion of…Read the comment

The offerer retained part of the victim for a feast (Le 3:9, &c.). This feast she professes was prepared for him whom she boldly addresses as one sought specially to partake of it.Read the comment
