Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:20-35

More about sexual misbehaviour (6:20-7:27)Sometimes teaching can be so well known that people no longer take any notice of it. Therefore, they must remind themselves to be obedient to familiar truths (20-22). One matter concerning which the writer repeats his earlier warnings is sexual immorality. Offenders are merely destroying themselves (23-29). People may not despise a desperately hungry person who steals food; nevertheless, the person must be dealt with and made to repay (with interest)... read more

WARNING AGAINST THE HARLOT AND THE ADULTERESS (THE TWELFTH DISCOURSE)"My son, keep the commandment of thy father,And forsake not the law of thy mother:Bind them continually upon thy heart;Tie them about thy neck.When thou walkest, it shall lead thee;When thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee;And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light;And the reproofs of instruction are the way of life:To keep thee from the evil woman,From the flattery of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Proverbs 6:20-35

11. The guilt of adultery 6:20-35This extended warning against one of life’s most destructive practices is classic. We can profit from reading it frequently. Proverbs 6:20-23 indicate the start of a new section and stress again the importance of the precepts that follow. Solomon regarded the instruction he was giving as an expression of God’s law (cf. Proverbs 6:23; Psalms 119:105). Commenting on Proverbs 6:20-23, Paul Larsen wrote the following."Get hung up in your relationships with your... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 6:1-35

Dissuasives from Hurtful thingsProverbs 6:1-19 are inserted here from some other collection, and contain warnings against suretyships (1-5), sloth (6-11), falseness (12-15), evils which the Lordhates (16-19). At Proverbs 6:20 the thread of Proverbs 5 is resumed.1. The surety appears to have taken the creditor’s hand in the presence of witnesses: cp. 2 Kings 10:15. 3. Read, ’Seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbour, go, bestir thyself, and beset thy neighbour. Make haste to get out of... read more

CHAPTER 7CERTAIN EXAMPLES OF THE BINDING CHARACTER OF OUR OWN ACTIONS"The surety the sluggard and the worthless person." Proverbs 6:1; Proverbs 6:6; Proverbs 6:12FROM the solemn principle announced at the close of the last chapter the teacher passes, almost unconscious of the thought which determines his selection of subjects, to illustrate the truth by three examples, -that of the Surety, that of the Sluggard, that of the Worthless Man. And then, because the horrors of impurity are the most... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:1-35

These chapters begin with reminiscence. A father is reciting to a son the precepts taught him by his father in his youth, and which cover chapter four. Chapter five is a warning against the evil woman. Chapter six deals with suretyship, indolence, malice and violence, while chapter seven returns to the theme of chapter five. In the first-named chapter occurs the beautiful illustration of Hebrew rhythm to which attention was called in Lesson 1; and following it we find in Proverbs 4:18 and... read more

On Suretyship The "Naughty Persons-Seven Things Hateful to God Proverbs 6:0 There is no necessary reference here to modern commercial usages. The passage may be easily misunderstood and misapplied. The case is well put in Bishop Ellicott's Bible: "When the Mosaic law was instituted, commerce had not been taken up by the Israelites, and the lending of money on interest for its employment in trade was a thing unknown. The only occasion for loans would be to supply the immediate necessities of... read more

My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
