箴言 6:25-28 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 6:20-35

Here is, I. A general exhortation faithfully to adhere to the word of God and to take it for our guide in all our actions. 1. We must look upon the word of God both as a light (Pr. 6:23) and as a law, Pr. 6:20, 23. (1.) By its arguments it is a light, which our understandings must subscribe to; it is a lamp to our eyes for discovery, and so to our feet for direction. The word of God reveals to us truths of eternal certainty, and is built upon the highest reason. Scripture-light is the sure... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:25

Lust not after her beauty in thine heart ,.... Do not look upon it with the eye, nor dwell upon it in the thought; the one will lead on to and kindle last in the heart, and the other will cherish it and blow it up into a flame; and lust thus conceived and nourished in the heart is no other than committing adultery, Matthew 5:28 ; neither let her take thee with her eyelids ; let her not take thee from instruction with them, so Aben Ezra, from attending to that; or let her not take thy... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:26

For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread ,.... To be glad of one, and to beg for one, for the least morsel; it is expressive of the extreme poverty and want which harlots bring men to, who strip them of all their substance, and then send them going to get their bread as they can; thus the prodigal, having spent his substance with harlots, was so reduced as to desire the husks which swine ate, Luke 15:13 ; so spiritual fornication or idolatry leaves men without... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:27

Can a man take fire in his bosom ,.... A whore is compared to fire, and is so called by the poets F15 Plauti Bacehides, Acts 4 . Sc. 9. v. 15. "Accede ad ignem hunc", Terent. Eunuehus, Acts 1 . Sc. 2. v. 5. ; and it is a saying of Pythagoras, "it is a like thing to fall into fire and into a woman F16 το εις πυρ και εις γυναικα , apud Maximum, Eclog. c. 39. ;' the Hebrew words אש , "esh", "fire", and אישה , "ishah", "a woman", have some affinity in sound; and the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:28

Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? He cannot; if he sets his feet upon them, and continues them ever so little on them, they will be burnt, and much more if he walks upon them; and so if a man gives way to the burning lusts of his heart after a whorish woman, and commits adultery with her, though not with frequency, he will not escape punishment in one shape or another; and much more if he continues such a lewd course of life; such practices are extremely dangerous F17 ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 6:25

Neither let her take thee with her eye-lids - It is a very general custom in the East to paint the eye-lids. I have many Asiatic drawings in which this is expressed. They have a method of polishing the eyes with a preparation of antimony, so that they appear with an indescribable lustre; or, as one who mentions the fact from observation, "Their eyes appear to be swimming in bliss." read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 6:26

By means of a whorish woman - In following lewd women, a man is soon reduced to poverty and disease. The Septuagint gives this a strange turn: timh gar pornhv, osh kai enov artou. "For the price or hire of a whore is about one loaf." So many were they in the land, that they hired themselves out for a bare subsistence. The Vulgate, Syriac, and Arabic, give the same sense. The old MS. Bible has it thus: The price forsothe of a strumpet is unneth oon lof: the woman forsothe taketh the precious... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 6:1-35

The sixth chapter embraces four distinct discourses, each of which is a warning. The subjects treated of are The continuity of the subject treated of in the preceding chapter appears to be somewhat abruptly interrupted to make way for the insertion of three discourses on subjects which apparently have little connection with what precedes and what follows. Their unlooked for and unexpected appearance has led Hitzig to regard them as interpolations, but it has been conclusively pointed out... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 6:20-35

12. Twelfth admonitory discourse. In this the teacher returns again to the subject which he has already treated in the eighth discourse. The extreme tendency of men, and especially young men, to sins of impurity is no doubt, as Delitzsch remarks, the reason why this subject is again resumed. The subject is gradually worked up to the preceding admonitions in Proverbs 6:20-23 , pointing out that the way of life, the way of safety, is to be secured by obedience to the precepts of parents,... read more
