Provérbios 6:26-28 NVT

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 6:26

For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread. From this verse onwards to the end of the chapter the discourse consists of a series of arguments, each calculated to deter youth from the sins of fornication and adultery, by exhibiting the evil consequences of such indulgence. The first is the poverty and extreme beggary to which a man is brought. For by means of ; Hebrew, ki v'ad. Lee gives the preposition vaad the force of "after," i.e. after associating... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 6:27

In this and the two following verses (28 and 29) the discourse proceeds from statement to illustration, and by examples of cause and effect the teacher shows "the moral necessity of the evil consequences of the sin of adultery" (Delitzsch). The meaning of the verses is plain enough, viz. that as it is in vain to suppose that a person's garment will not be burnt or his feet not be scorched if fire is brought near them, so it is equally inconceivable that a person indulging in adultery can... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 6:27

Fire in the bosom I. SIN IS FIRE . Fire has an activity that mocks life; it is full of noise and movement. It hisses like a demon serpent; it sends forth its tongues of flame like living creatures. Yet it is lifeless and the deadliest enemy to all life. Though some animals are drowned in water, others are fitted to find it their natural element; but all living creatures perish in fire. The phoenix is an impossibility. So sin mocks life and beauty and healthy energy. But it is only a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 6:28

Can one go upon hot coals, etc.? The repeated question is introduced by gin, "if," here equivalent to the Latin an, used in double questions, as in Genesis 24:21 ; Exodus 17:7 ; 9:2 , etc. Go; i.e. walk upon hot coals (Hebrew, al-haggekalim ); literally, upon the hot coals. The Hebrew gakheleth is coals thoroughly ignited, as in Le 16:12 and Proverbs 25:22 ; different from pekham of Proverbs 26:21 , which is "a black coal," or, as Gesenius explains, charcoal... read more

Proverbs 6:24-29. To keep thee from the evil woman Which is mentioned as a great commendation of God’s word, because neither worldly discretion, nor a good education, nor moral precepts, nor any other considerations, are sufficient preservatives against this lust, as is manifest from daily experience. Lust not after her beauty Do not give way to, or delight thyself with, unchaste thoughts or affections: compare Matthew 5:28. Neither let her take thee with her eyelids With her wanton... read more

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
