Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 6:12-19

CRITICAL NOTES,—Proverbs 6:12. A naughty person, “a worthless man.” Proverbs 6:13. Teacheth, “motions.” Proverbs 6:14. Frowardness, “perverseness.” Proverbs 6:16. Six, yea, seven. “A peculiar proverbial form, for which Arabic and Persian gnomic literature supply numerous illustrations.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:1-35

Now let us turn to Proverbs, chapter 6. The first part of the Proverbs is exhortation to my son. It's just good fatherly advice to sons.

Now do this, and deliver yourself, my son, when you've come to the hand of your friend; go, and... read more

Proverbs 6:1 . If thou be surety for thy friend. If charity has gained an ascendancy over the judgment, prepare to perform thy covenant. To aid a friend in poverty is a generous deed, it is lending without hope: but to bind one’s self in cases of speculation may incur a serious loss, without real advantage to another. Proverbs 6:3 . When thou art come into the hand of thy friend. The sense is intricate. The LXX read, When thou art come into the hands of rigorous men for thy friend; go,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 6:18

Pro 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, Ver. 18. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations. ] This is the old beldam, the mother of all the foregoing and following mischiefs, and is therefore fitly set in the midst of the seven, as having an influence into all.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 6:16-19

ADMONITIONS AGAINST THE PRACTICE OF SEVEN HATEFUL THINGS, Proverbs 6:16-19. Here the teacher seeks to guard his charge against personal vices, as he had before against associational ones. 16-19. Six things… yea, seven, are specified. These are favourite forms with the Hebrews, and the numbers are not always used definitely. The expression is, perhaps, equivalent to our “six or seven,” meaning several. The origin of this peculiar proverbial form, the using of symbolical numbers, Elster... read more
