Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 6:31

Proverbs 6:31. If he be found, he shall restore sevenfold— The law, Exo 22:1-4 did not oblige the thief to restore sevenfold, but only five oxen for one, or, in another case, only double: wherefore some commentators think that the word sevenfold, is only used as an indefinite number. "He shall restore the value of that which he has taken, and much more:" others would render it, If he be found out seven times, he shall restore as often, till he give all the substance of his house. But some have... 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).

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Proverbs 6:30

(30) Men do not despise a thief . . .—A man who is driven to theft by poverty is more worthy of pity than disdain; not so the adulterer. Again, the thief can make retribution, while the adulterer can have none to offer. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Proverbs 6:31

(31) But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold.—Rather, And if he be found, he may restore sevenfold, he may give up all the wealth of his house. The law only required a two—or four—or fivefold compensation (Exodus 22:0); he may do even more. “Sevenfold” signifies full restitution. (Comp. Genesis 4:24 : Leviticus 26:28.) read more
