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

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 . It is a warning against literal fornication and the accompanying spiritual fornication, turning away from the worship of Jehovah and worshipping idols. The dreadful results of sinful lust are vividly described. How many a young man has found out the truth as given in these words in his licentious life.

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.

A reflection mournful beyond all others is that... read more

Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. Let them be only thine own, and not strangers with thee. Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom... read more
