F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Proverbs 5:1-14

Quicksands! Keep Off! Proverbs 5:1-14 It is a matter for great thankfulness that the Bible, which is God’s book rather than man’s, deals so strongly and wisely with one great evil, which has manifested itself in every age and in every state of society. It speaks boldly and plainly; and all who will meditate on its teaching with a prayerful heart, will be saved from many a painful snare. If we fall it will only be due to our having refused to heed the voice that speaks to us from paragraphs... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 5:1-23

This is a parental exhortation against impurity. It is expressed in words of great delicacy and beauty, but it is none the less urgent and searching. It recognizes one of the most subtle and natural temptations likely to assail the life of the young, and sets it in the light of true wisdom, which begins in the fear of Jehovah and expresses itself in perpetual recognition of Him. The allurement of the strange woman is vividly described, but it is put into immediate contrast with the issue of... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 5:6

LIFE’S LEVEL PATH‘The level path of life … He maketh level all his paths.’ Proverbs 5:6; Proverbs 5:21 (R.V.). I. It is a remarkable expression—‘the level path of life’; and there is great comfort in knowing that God is ever before us, levelling our pathway, taking insurmountable obstacles out of the way, so that our feet do not stumble. II. It may be that you are facing a great mountain range of difficulty.—Before you obstacles, apparently insuperable, rear themselves like a giant wall to... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 5:1-14

The Need To Listen To Solomon’s Wisdom And Not To Be Enticed By The Words Of The Strange Woman Which Lead To Death And Slavery (Proverbs 5:1-14 ). The constant reference to the need to avoid the enticements of the strange woman suggests that it was a major problem in the time of the writer (see Proverbs 2:16-19; Proverbs 5:3-14; Proverbs 6:24-26; Proverbs 7:5-27; Proverbs 9:13-18), and this fits well with the time of Solomon, for we should note that there is no suggestion of cult prostitutes,... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 5:1-23

Prologue To The Book (Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18 ). It was common throughout the 3rd to the 1st millenniums BC for collections of wisdom saying to have a prologue preparing for the ‘sayings’ that would follow. Those sayings would then be introduced by a subheading. Proverbs thus follows the usual precedent in having such a prologue in Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18, followed by general sayings in Proverbs 10:1 ff headed by a subheading (Proverbs 10:1). It was also common for such a... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 5:1-23

Proverbs 5:1-Isaiah : . The first discourse against sexual vice, and exhortation to purity and conjugal fidelity ( cf. Proverbs 6:24-Habakkuk :, Proverbs 7, Proverbs 9:13-Job :). A comparison of the later codes ( e.g. Leviticus 18, 20, H) with the earlier, shows the increasing stress laid on sexual purity, and increasing prevalence of adultery. Proverbs 5:3-Joshua : . Description of the strange woman ( Proverbs 2:16 *). Proverbs 5:4 . wormwood ( Amos 5:7, Jeremiah 9:15): a bitter and... read more
