CHAPTER 6THE WAYS AND ISSUES OF SIN"His own iniquities shall take the wicked, And he shall be holden with the cords of his sin. He shall die for lack of instruction; And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray." Proverbs 5:22-23IT is the task of Wisdom, or, as we should say, of the Christian teacher, -and a most distasteful task it is, -to lay bare with an unsparing hand(1) the fascinations of sin, and(2) the deadly entanglements in which the sinner involves himself, -"there is a way... read more

CHAPTER 5 1. Shun the strange woman and sinful passion (Proverbs 5:1-14 ) 2. The life of chastity (Proverbs 5:15-23 ) Proverbs 5:1-14 .

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Proverbs 5:1-23
The Strange Woman Proverbs 5:0 The reason which is assigned justifies the urgency of the counsel. There are unwritten rights between man and man. The wise man by his very wisdom acquires the right to instruct the unwise, and the strong man by his very strength has the right to defend the oppressed. It is not a matter of mere sentiment in either case, but of positive and imperative right. This is the secret of true commonwealth and brotherhood.

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 5:1-23

The two leading thoughts are (1) the disastrous consequences of adultery; loss of honour, property, life, opportunity of repentance, and (2) the sufficiency and desirableness of conjugal love.6.
