箴言 7:20 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 7:6-23

Solomon here, to enforce the caution he had given against the sin of whoredom, tells a story of a young man that was ruined to all intents and purposes by the enticements of an adulterous woman. Such a story as this would serve the lewd profane poets of our age to make a play of, and the harlot with them would be a heroine; nothing would be so entertaining to the audience, nor give them so much diversion, as her arts of beguiling the young gentleman and drawing in the country squire; her... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 7:20

He hath taken a bag of money with him ,.... Or, "in his hand" F1 בידו "in manu sua", Pagninus, Montanus, Mercerus, Gejerus, Michaelis. ; either for merchandise, as Gersom; or for defraying: the charges of his journey; and both suppose length of time: if for merchandise, it required time to purchase goods, and see them packed up and sent away; or if for his journey, since it was not a few pieces of money he put in his pocket to defray expenses, but a bag of it he carried in his hand,... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 7:20

He hath taken - Literally, "The money bag he hath taken in his hand." He is gone a journey of itinerant merchandising. This seems to be what is intended. And will come home at the day appointed - הכסא ליום leyom hakkase , the time fixed for a return from such a journey. The Vulgate says, "at the full moon." The Targum, "the day of the assembly." In other words, He will return by the approaching festival. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 7:1-27

A tragedy of temptation This is a fine piece of dramatic moral description, and there is no reason why it should not be made use of, handled with tact and delicacy, with an audience of young men. I. THE PROLOGUE . ( Proverbs 7:1-5 .) On Proverbs 7:1 , see Proverbs 1:8 ; Proverbs 2:1 ; Proverbs 6:20 . On Proverbs 6:2 , see on Proverbs 4:4 . Here an expression not before used occurs. "Keep my doctrine as thine eye apple;" literally, "the little man in thine eye." It is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 7:1-27

The two ways Here we have— I. THE WAY OF SIN AND DEATH . This is: 1 . The way of thoughtlessness. It is the "simple ones," the "young men void of understanding" ( Proverbs 7:7 ), those who go heedlessly "near the corner," "the way to the house" of the tempter or the temptress ( Proverbs 7:8 ). It is those who "do not consider," who do not think who they are, what they are here for, whither they go, what the end will be;—it is these who go astray and are found in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 7:6-23

To show the greatness of the danger presented by the seductions of the temptress, the writer introduces no mere abstraction, no mere personification of a quality, but an actual example of what had passed before his own eyes. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 7:6-27

Profilgacy It would not, perhaps, be wise for any one to discuss this subject in the presence of a general congregation. The sin is so fearfully contaminating that it is scarcely possible to touch it in any way without contracting some defilement; and the few who might benefit by a public exposure of the evils of profligacy would be greatly outnumbered by the multitude of people, especially the young, to whom the direction of attention to it would be unwholesome. But on special... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 7:20

He hath taken a bag of money with him; not only to defray the expenses of the journey (a fact which need not be dwelt upon), but because he has some pecuniary business to transact which will occupy his time, and prevent his return before the appointed hour. And will come home at the day appointed; better, as the Revised Version, he will come home at the full moor, ( in die pleura lunae, Vulgate). כֶּסֶא here, and כֶּסֶה , Psalms 81:4 , are rightly translated "the full moon,"... read more

Proverbs 7:15-20. Therefore came I forth to meet thee As not being able to take any pleasure in my feast without thy company; and I have found thee By a happy providence of God complying with my desires, to my great joy, I have found thee speedily and most opportunely. Thus this wicked woman pretended that she came forth on purpose to meet this youth, from a peculiar affection, as if she had had a prior acquaintance and intimacy with him. I have decked my bed, &c. She desires to... read more
