Proverbs 6:15

Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. THEREFORE SHALL HIS CALAMITY COME SUDDENLY; SUDDENLY SHALL HE BE BROKEN WITHOUT REMEDY - like a potter's THEREFORE SHALL HIS CALAMITY COME SUDDENLY; SUDDENLY SHALL HE BE BROKEN WITHOUT REMEDY - like a potter's vessel which, once broken, cannot be mended (; ). The word "suddenly" shows the vanity of the sinner's hope that he shall have the time or the gift of repentance (Job 21:17; )....

12-19 If the slothful are to be condemned, who do nothing, much more those that do all the ill they can. Observe how such a man is described. He says and does every thing artfully, and with design. His ruin shall come without warning, and without relief. Here is a list of things hateful to God. Those sins are in a special manner provoking to God, which are hurtful to the comfort of human life. These things which God hates, we must hate in ourselves; it is nothing to hate them in others. Let us shun all such practices, and watch and pray against them; and avoid, with marked disapproval, all who are guilty of them, whatever may be their rank....

Verse Proverbs 6:15. _SUDDENLY SHALL HE BE BROKEN_] Probably alluding to some punishment of the adulterer, such as being _stoned to death_. A multitude shall join together, and so overwhelm him with stones, that he shall have his flesh and bones broken to pieces, and there shall be _no remedy_-none to deliver or pity him....

The duper and the dupe shall share the same calamity....

EXPOSITION PROVERBS 6:1 The sixth chapter embraces four distinct discourses, each of which is a warning. The subjects treated of are (1) suretyship (Proverbs 6:1); (2) sloth (Proverbs 6:6); (3) malice (Proverbs 6:12); and (4) adultery (Proverbs 6:20 to the end). The continuity of the subject treated of in the preceding chapter appears to be somewhat abruptly interrupted to make way for the insertion of three

THEREFORE SHALL HIS CALAMITY COME SUDDENLY,.... Unthought of and unexpected: he that deviseth mischief to others secretly shall have no warning of his own ruin, nor time and means of preventing it; the destruction of antichrist will be sudden, and of all wicked men at the coming of Christ, 1 Thessalonians 5:3; SUDDENLY SHALL HE BE BROKEN WITHOUT REMEDY; or, "and there shall be no healing" b: his bones will be broken to pieces, and there will be no cure for him; or he shall be like an earthen vessel, which, when broke, cannot be put together again. The ruin of wicked men is sudden, inevitable, and irreparable; so antichrist will "come to his end, and none shall help him", Daniel 11:45. b ואין מרפא "et non sanitas", Pagninus, Montanus; "curatio", Junius Tremellius

CHAPTER 6 _ 1. The surety (Proverbs 6:1)_ 2. The sluggard (Proverbs 6:6) 3. The naughty, good-for-nothing person (Proverbs 6:12) 4. The strange woman (Proverbs 6:20) Proverbs 6:1. These are instructions concerning contracts, in being surety for a neighbor and the danger connected with it. Proverbs 6:6. The sluggard is commanded to go to the ant for a lesson. (See also...

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

Thirteenth Address. Chap. 6. Proverbs 6:12. _The Worthless Person_ This short section might seem at first sight to break itself into two (Proverbs 6:12). But the note of character, "he soweth discord," repeated in Proverbs 6:19 from Proverbs 6:14, helps to identify the worthless person as being the subject throughout, and a closer examination exhibits the connection. Would you recognise the worthless man? Here is his description, Proverbs 6:12. Would you understand his end? Here is his destiny,...

TEXT Proverbs 6:12-22 12. A worthless person, a man of iniquity, Is he that walketh with a perverse mouth; 13. That winketh with his eyes, that speaketh with his feet, That maketh signs with his fingers; 14. In whose heart is perverseness, Who deviseth evil continually, Who soweth discord. 15. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; On a sudden shall he be broken, and that without remedy. 16. There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven are which are an abomination unto him: 17. Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood; 18. A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief, 19. A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren. 20.
