Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 6:9-11

Proverbs 6:9-11. How long, &c. O the strange idleness of mankind! who have so many monitors and governors, that call upon them again and again, to excite them to diligence, but in vain! Wilt thou sleep, O sluggard When the ants are so watchful, and labour not only in the day-time, but even by night, when the moon shines. Yet a little sleep, &c. This he speaks in the person of the sluggard, refusing to arise and requiring more sleep, that so he might express the disposition and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:1-19

Rashness, laziness and troublemaking (6:1-19)A person can easily get into serious difficulties by agreeing to be a financial guarantor for a friend (or a stranger), as the friend may get so far into debt that the guarantor is ruined. If the guarantor realizes that he made a rash promise, he should act quickly. He should not rest till he has gone back to his friend, told him of his true position, and withdrawn his guarantee. Only in this way will he save himself from possible disaster... read more

10. Other dangerous temptations 6:1-19Solomon singled out a few more serious errors to avoid in addition to marital unfaithfulness. These include assuming liability for the debts of others (Proverbs 6:1-5), being lazy (Proverbs 6:6-11), being untruthful (Proverbs 6:12-15), and seven other practices that need no clarification (Proverbs 6:16-19).The advice in this section provides a good example of what prudence is. A prudent person is one who is capable of exercising sound judgment in practical... 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

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:1-35

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

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Proverbs 6:1-35

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
