Proverbs 6:32-35

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 6:32

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

A wound and dishonour shall he get ,.... A wound, stroke, or blow, either from the husband of the strumpet, as was often the case F24 "Secat ille cruentis verberibus", Juvenal. Satyr. 10. v. 316.

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:34

For jealousy is the rage of a man ,.... Fills a man with rage against him of whom he is jealous; which keeps boiling within him, till he has an opportunity of venting it: and very severe it is; it is strong as death, and cruel as the grave; therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance ; when he has an opportunity of avenging himself; whenever he finds the adulterer in his house, or catches him and his wife in bed together, he spares not to take away his life, and sometimes the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:35

He will not regard any ransom ,.... So that his case is much worse than, a thief's; if he is taken, he makes restitution according to law, and he is freed, and no more is said and done to him; and, at most, it is but parting with all the goods in his house; but in this case it will not do. In the Hebrew text it is, "he will not accept the face of any ransom" F26 לא ישא פני "non accipiet facies", Montanus; "non acceptabit faciem ullius redemptionis", Mercerus, Gejerus; "ullius... read more

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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 6:33

A wound and dishonor shall he get - Among the Romans, when a man was caught in the fact, the injured husband took the law into his own hand; and a large radish was thrust up into the anus of the transgressor, which not only overwhelmed him with infamy and disgrace, but generally caused his death. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 6:34

Jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare - He will not, when he has detected the adulterer in the fact, wait for the slow progress of the law: it is then to him the day of vengeance; and in general, he avenges himself on the spot, as we see above. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 6:35

He will not regard any ransom - This is an injury that admits of no compensation. No gifts can satisfy a man for the injury his honor has sustained; and to take a bribe or a ransom, would be setting up chastity at a price. 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
