Expositor's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 5:1-23

CHAPTER 6THE WAYS AND ISSUES OF SIN"His own iniquities shall take the wicked, And he shall be holden with the cords of his sin. He shall die for lack of instruction; And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray." Proverbs 5:22-23IT is the task of Wisdom, or, as we should say, of the Christian teacher, -and a most distasteful task it is, -to lay bare with an unsparing hand(1) the fascinations of sin, and(2) the deadly entanglements in which the sinner involves himself, -"there is a way... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Proverbs 5:1-23

CHAPTER 5 1. Shun the strange woman and sinful passion (Proverbs 5:1-14 ) 2. The life of chastity (Proverbs 5:15-23 ) Proverbs 5:1-14 .

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Proverbs 5:1-23

These chapters begin with reminiscence. A father is reciting to a son the precepts taught him by his father in his youth, and which cover chapter four. Chapter five is a warning against the evil woman. Chapter six deals with suretyship, indolence, malice and violence, while chapter seven returns to the theme of chapter five. In the first-named chapter occurs the beautiful illustration of Hebrew rhythm to which attention was called in Lesson 1; and following it we find in Proverbs 4:18 and... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Proverbs 5:1-23

The Strange Woman Proverbs 5:0 The reason which is assigned justifies the urgency of the counsel. There are unwritten rights between man and man. The wise man by his very wisdom acquires the right to instruct the unwise, and the strong man by his very strength has the right to defend the oppressed. It is not a matter of mere sentiment in either case, but of positive and imperative right. This is the secret of true commonwealth and brotherhood. A reflection mournful beyond all others is that... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 5:7-14

Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 5:1-14

1-14 Solomon cautions all young men, as his children, to abstain from fleshly lusts. Some, by the adulterous woman, here understand idolatry, false doctrine, which tends to lead astray men's minds and manners; but the direct view is to warn against seventh-commandment sins. Often these have been, and still are, Satan's method of drawing men from the worship of God into false religion. Consider how fatal the consequences; how bitter the fruit! Take it any way, it wounds. It leads to the torments... read more

8. Warning against intercourse with wanton women, and against the ruinous consequences of licentiousnessProverbs 5:1-231 My son, give heed to my wisdom,to my prudence incline thine ear,2 so that thou maintain discretion,and thy lips preserve knowledge.3 For the lips of the strange woman distil honey,and smoother than oil is her mouth:4 but at last she is bitter as wormwood,sharp as a two-edged sword.5 Her feet go down to death,her steps lay hold upon the lower... read more
