箴言 6:29-32 RCUVTS

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 6:29

So he that goeth into his neighbour's wife ,.... To converse with her, or lie with her, as the Targum; for it means not barely going into her house or chamber, or into her company, though without any ill design at first, which yet may be dangerous; but committing adultery with her, as this phrase is often used, Genesis 19:31 ; whosoever toucheth her ; by impure dalliances, and especially by carnal copulation with her, in which sense it is used; see Gill on 1 Corinthians 7:1 ; ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:30

Men do not despise a thief, if he steal ,.... They do not discommend or reproach him for it, or fix a mark of infamy upon him, or expose him to public shame by whipping him; but rather excuse him and pity him when it appears what his case is, what put him upon it, and that he had no other intention in it than to do as follows; to satisfy his soul ; his craving appetite for food, having nothing to eat, nor no other way of getting any: the words should be supplied thus, "for he does this... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:31

But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold ,.... According to the law in Exodus 22:1 ; in case of theft double was to be restored, if the theft was found alive in his hand; and in some cases fourfold and fivefold. Aben Ezra observing that double and fivefold being near together in the law, joins them, and so makes sevenfold. Some think Solomon has reference to a law in other nations, which obliged to a sevenfold restoration; or that the penalty was increased in his time, but neither... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:32

But whoso committeth adultery with a woman ,.... Which is a greater degree of theft than the former, it being the stealing of another man's wife; lacketh understanding ; or "an heart" F20 חסר לב "deficit corde", Pagninus, Montanus; "caret corde", Mercerus, Gejerus; so Michaelis. ; the thief lacks bread, and therefore steals, but this man lacks wisdom, and therefore acts so foolish a part; the one does it to satisfy hunger, the other a brutish lust; he that doeth it... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 6:29

So he that goeth In to his neighbor's wife - As sure as he who takes fire into his bosom, or who walks upon live coals, is burnt thereby; so sure he that seduces his neighbour's wife shall be guilty. That is, he shall be punished. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 6:30

Men do not despise a thief if he steal - Every man pities the poor culprit who was perishing for lack of food, and stole to satisfy his hunger; yet no law clears him: he is bound to make restitution; in some cases double, in others quadruple and quintuple; and if he have not property enough to make restitution, to be sold for a bondsman; Exodus 22:1-4 ; Leviticus 25:39 . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 6:32

But whoso committeth adultery - The case understood is that of a married man: he has a wife; and therefore is not in the circumstances of the poor thief, who stole to appease his hunger, having nothing to eat. In this alone the opposition between the two cases is found: the thief had no food, and he stole some; the married man had a wife, and yet went in to the wife of his neighbor. Destroyeth his own soul - Sins against his life, for, under the law of Moses, adultery was punished with... 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
