Proverbs 6:24-28

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 6:24-29

One Intention Of The Commandment And Torah Is To Keep Him From The Adulterous Woman Who Will Seek To Lead Him Astray (Proverbs 6:24-29 ). In contrast with ‘woman wisdom’ (e.g. Proverbs 1:20-33; Proverbs 3:13-20) is the ‘strange woman’ who will seek to lead him astray. She will speak smooth words and seek to entice him with her beauty and her eyelids. But her way only leads to poverty and judgment. Once again note the chiasmus: A To keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 6:1-35

Proverbs 6:1-Psalms : . A section totally dissimilar from the rest of this division of Pr. It consists of four short subsections Proverbs 6:1-Deuteronomy : against suretyship, Proverbs 6:6-1 Kings : against sloth, Proverbs 6:12-Ezra : against talebearing, Proverbs 6:16-Psalms : against seven sins. Then the subject of sexual vice is continued from Proverbs 5. Proverbs 6:1-Psalms : obviously breaks the connexion, and was probably inserted after the compilation of Proverbs 6:1-1 Samuel :.... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 6:24

This is mentioned as a great commendation of God’s word, because neither worldly discretion, nor civil education, nor moral precepts, nor any other considerations, are sufficient preservatives against this lust, as is manifest from daily experience. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 6:25

Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; do not give way to, nor delight thyself with, unchaste thoughts or affections. Compare Matthew 5:28. With her eyelids; either with her beauty, which consists much in the eyes; or rather, with her amours and wanton glances. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 6:26

To a piece of bread; to extreme poverty, so as to want and be forced to beg his bread. Hunt for the precious life; to take away a man’s life; either by consuming his body and spirits, and so shortening his days; or more directly and strictly, when she hath any great provocation to it, or any prospect of considerable advantage by it. Or, for the precious soul, which she corrupteth and destroyeth. But I prefer the former sense. read more

The question implies a denial; he cannot escape burning. No more can he who burns in lust avoid destruction. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 6:24-35

CRITICAL NOTES,—Proverbs 6:24. Evil woman, literally. “the woman of evil.” Proverbs 6:26. Last clause means “an adulteress allures to that which may cost a man his life” (Stuart). Proverbs 6:30. Despise. Some translators render this word “scorn,” others “disregard.” Stuart, Wordsworth, and others adopt the former and understand the words to mean “men do not despise the thief, they do despise the adulterer.” Noyes and others, adopting the latter rendering, take the sentence to mean “men punish... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:27-28

Proverbs 6:27-28 These words contain an important principle of general application to every sin the impossibility for a man to play with the enticement to sin without falling a prey thereto. The truth of the statement will appear if we take into consideration the following things: I. That every temptation presented to man addresses itself to a nature that is already corrupt, and is therefore liable to take to it. II. That man in playing with the temptation puts himself directly in the way that... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:1-35

Now let us turn to Proverbs, chapter 6. The first part of the Proverbs is exhortation to my son. It's just good fatherly advice to sons. And chapter 6 continues in these exhortations that are opened by the phrase:My son, if you be surety for thy friend, or if you have stricken hands with a stranger, you've become snared with the words of your mouth, you've been taken with the words of your mouth. Now do this, and deliver yourself, my son, when you've come to the hand of your friend; go, and... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 6:1-35

Proverbs 6:1 . If thou be surety for thy friend. If charity has gained an ascendancy over the judgment, prepare to perform thy covenant. To aid a friend in poverty is a generous deed, it is lending without hope: but to bind one’s self in cases of speculation may incur a serious loss, without real advantage to another. Proverbs 6:3 . When thou art come into the hand of thy friend. The sense is intricate. The LXX read, When thou art come into the hands of rigorous men for thy friend; go,... read more
