잠언 5:8-11 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 5:1-23

8. Eighth admonitory discourse. Warning against adultery, and commendation of marriage. The teacher, in this discourse, recurs to a subject which he has glanced at before in Proverbs 2:15-19 , and which he again treats of in the latter part of the sixth and in the whole of the seventh chapters. This constant recurrence to the same subject, repulsive on account of its associations, shows, however, the importance which it had in the teacher's estimation as a ground of warning, and that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 5:8

Remove thy way far from her. In other words, this is the same as St. Paul counsels, "Flee fornication" ( 1 Corinthians 6:14 ). From her ( mealeyah ; desuper ea ) . The term conveys the impression that the youth has come within the compass of her temptations, or that in the highest degree he is liable to them. The Hebrew meal, compounded of min and al, and meaning" from upon," being used of persons or things which go away from the place in or upon which they had been. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 5:9

The reasons why the harlot is to be avoided follow in rapid succession. Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel. The word rendered "honour" (Hebrew, hod ) is not so much reputation, as the English implies, as "the grace and freshness of youth." It is so used in Hosea 14:6 ; Daniel 10:8 . The Vulgate renders "honour," and the LXX ; ζώη , "life." Hod is derived from the Arabic word signifying "to lift one's self up," and then "to be eminent,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 5:10

Another temporal consequence of, and deterrent against, a life of profligacy. Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger . The margin reads, "thy strength" for "thy wealth," but the text properly renders the original koakh, which means "substance," "wealth," "riches"—the youth's possessions in money and property (Delitzsch). The primary meaning of the word is "strength" or "might," as appears from the verb kakhakh, "to exert one's self," from... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 5:11

The last argument is the mental anguish which ensues when health is ruined and wealth is squandered. And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed. The Hebrew v'nahamta' is rather "and thou groan." It is not the plaintive wailing or the subdued grief of heart which is signified, but the loud wail of lamentation, the groaning indicative of intense mental suffering called forth by the remembrance of past folly, and which sees no remedy in the future. The verb naham ... read more

Proverbs 5:8-14. Come not nigh the door of her house Lest thine eyes affect thy heart, and her allurements prevail over thee. Lest thou give thine honour Thy dignity and reputation, the strength and vigour of thy body and mind; unto others Unto whores, and their base attendants; and thy years The flower of thine age, and thy precious time, unto the cruel To the harlot, who, though she pretends love, yet, in truth, is one of the most cruel creatures in the world, wasting thy estate... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 5:1-23

Temptations to sexual immorality (5:1-23)Strong warning is given to beware of the prostitute and the temptations she offers. (The frequency of this warning in Proverbs indicates that prostitution must have been a widespread social evil at the time.) The pleasure that the prostitute brings is shortlived, but the bitterness that follows is lasting. It leads eventually to death (5:1-6).A man must flee the temptations offered by such immoral company, otherwise he may finish a physical and moral... read more
