Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 6:12

A naughty person - בליעל אדם adam beliyal , "Adam good for nothing." When he lost his innocence. A man apostata ; Old MS. Bible. A wicked man - און איש ish aven . He soon became a general transgressor after having departed from his God. All his posterity, unless restored by Divine grace, are men of Belial, and sinners by trade; and most of them, in one form or other, answer the character here given. They yield their members instruments of unrighteousness unto sin. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 6:13

He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers - These things seem to be spoken of debauchees, and the following quotation from Ovid, Amor. Iib. i., El. iv., ver. 15, shoots the whole process of the villany spoken of by Solomon: Cum premit ille torum, vultu comes ipsa modesto Ibis, ut accumbas: clam mihi tange pedem. Me specta, nutusque meos, vultum que loquacem Excipe furtivas, et refer ipsa, notas. Verba superciliis sine voce loquentia dicam Verba... read more

He deviseth mischief - He plots schemes and plans to bring it to pass. He soweth discord - Between men and their wives, by seducing the latter from their fidelity. See the preceding quotation. 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 6:6-11

10. Tenth admonitory discourse. Warning against sloth. The ethical connection of this discourse with the preceding has already been pointed out. Sloth militates against prosperity; it is the prolific parent of want, and, even more surely than suretyship, leads to misfortune and ruin, The certainty with which ruin steals upon the sluggard may be the reason why the teacher closes the discourse in the way he does. In the case of suretyship such an issue is uncertain; there is the possibility... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 6:6-11

The sluggard admonished I. THE PICTURE OF INSECT INDUSTRY . The ant was viewed as the very picture of laboriousness in ancient as in modern times. It is interesting that the German word for "industrious" ( emsig ) seems derivable from amessi, "emmet, ant." The like may probably be traceable in some English dialects, 1 . The industry of the ant has all the appearance of a virtue. For it seems unforced; there is no judge, superintendent, or onlooker, or taskmaster, to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 6:6-11

Sloth and diligence In this land and in this age, in England in the nineteenth century, there is little room for the sluggard; there is comparatively little temptation to sluggishness; the force of a rushing stream carries all along with it at a rapid pace. Nevertheless, it is true— I. THAT SOME MEN FIND THEMSELVES UNDER SPECIAL TEMPTATION TO SLOTH . This may be a matter of II. THAT IT IS TO BE REGARDED AS UNWORTHY OF CHRISTIAN MANHOOD . ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 6:9-11

contain a call to the sluggard to rouse himself from his lethargy, and the warning of the evil consequences if he remains heedless of the reproof. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? It is the same as if it were said, "What infatuation is this which makes you lie and sleep as if you had nothing else to do?" The double question stigmatizes the sluggard's utter indolence, and suggests the picture of his prolonging his stay in bed long after every one else is abroad and about his business. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 6:10

Yet a Little sleep, etc. Is this the answer of the sluggard which the teacher takes up and repeats ironically, and in a tone of contempt? or is it the teacher's own language describing how the sluggard slides on insensibly to ruin? The Vulgate favours the latter view, "Thou shalt sleep a little, thou shalt slumber a little, thou shalt fold thy hands to sleep, and then," etc. Habits, as Aristotle in his 'Ethics' has shown, are the resultant of repeated acts, and habits entail consequences. So... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 6:11

So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man. The inevitable consequences of sloth— poverty and want, two terms conveying the idea of utter destitution—are described under a twofold aspect: first, as certain; second, as irresistible. Poverty will advance upon the sluggard with the unerring precision and swiftness with which a traveller tends towards the end of his journey, or, as Michaelis puts it, "quasi viator qui impigre pergit ac proprius venit donec... read more
