Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Proverbs 5:1-6
The danger of seduction 5:1-6The lips of the youth (Proverbs 5:2) contrast with those of the seductress (Proverbs 5:3). Knowing what is right and being able to articulate that with one’s lips is really a protection against the power of the seductress’s speech (Proverbs 5:1-6). The temptress comes with words that are sweet (flattering) and smooth (delightful, Proverbs 5:3). [Note: M. Dahood, "Honey That Drips. Notes on Proverbs 5:2-3," Biblica 54 (1973):65-66.] Nevertheless if swallowed, they... read more

9. Warnings against unfaithfulness in marriage ch. 5Chapters 5-7 all deal with the consequences of sexual sins: eventual disappointment (ch. 5), gradual destruction (ch. 6), and ultimate death (ch. 7).

Finally it extols the wisdom of marital fidelity (Proverbs 5:15-23). read more

Most marital infidelity occurs because the parties involved continue to spend time together. Here Solomon advised avoiding the company of a temptress (cf. Genesis 39:10; 2 Timothy 2:22; Matthew 5:28-29).The price of unfaithfulness is not just physical disease (Proverbs 5:11 b)-though that may be... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 5:1-23
Unholy Passion. Hallowed LoveA dissuasive from immorality addressed exclusively to men. The two leading thoughts are (1) the disastrous consequences of adultery; loss of honour, property, life, opportunity of repentance, and (2) the sufficiency and desirableness of conjugal love.6. Read, ’Lest she should ponder the path of life, her ways are unstable, and she knoweth not.’ So far is she from entering on the level path which leads to life, her ways are unstable and she is reckless about it.9-11.... read more
