Proverbs 6:29

So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. SO HE THAT GOETH IN TO HIS NEIGHBOUR'S WIFE; WHOSOEVER TOUCHETH HER SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT - free from guilt and consequent punishment (; )....

20-35 The word of God has something to say to us upon all occasions. Let not faithful reproofs ever make us uneasy. When we consider how much this sin abounds, how heinous adultery is in its own nature, of what evil consequence it is, and how certainly it destroys the spiritual life in the soul, we shall not wonder that the cautions against it are so often repeated. Let us notice the subjects of this chapter. Let us remember Him who willingly became our Surety, when we were strangers and enemies. And shall Christians, who have such prospects, motives, and examples, be slothful and careless? Shall we neglect what is pleasing to God, and what he will graciously reward? May we closely watch every sense by which poison can enter our minds or affections....

Verse Proverbs 6:29. _SO HE THAT GOETH IN TO HIS NEIGHBOUR'S WIFE_] As sure as he who takes _fire into his bosom_, or who _walks_ upon _live coals,_ is burnt thereby; so sure he that seduces his neighbour's wife _shall be guilty_. That is, he shall be punished....

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

SO HE THAT GOETH INTO HIS NEIGHBOUR'S WIFE,.... To converse with her, or lie with her, as the Targum; for it means not barely going into her house or chamber, or into her company, though without any ill design at first, which yet may be dangerous; but committing adultery with her, as this phrase is often used, Genesis 19:31; WHOSOEVER TOUCHETH HER; by impure dalliances, and especially by carnal copulation with her, in which sense it is used, 1 Corinthians 7:1; SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT; or free r from disgrace and infamy, from loss of substance or health; from punishment in this life, either by the jealous husband or civil magistrate; and in the world to come by the Lord himself; for "whoremongers and adulterers God will judge",...

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....

Fourteenth Address. Chap. 6. Proverbs 6:20. _The Evil Woman_ The holy memories and sanctions of the family are invoked (Proverbs 6:20) to give weight to another earnest warning against the sin which destroys the purity and saps the foundations of family life (Proverbs 6:24)....

CAN A MAN TAKE FIRE— "The wife of one's neighbour is as fire: if you deliver yourself up to her impure love, it will consume you: you give admission to a passion which is unconquerable, and in the end will fall under the hand of her enraged husband." See Proverbs 6:34....

TEXT Proverbs 6:23-35 23. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; And reproofs of instruction are the way of life: 24. To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the foreigner's tongue. 25. Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; Neither let her take thee with her eyelids. 26. For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life. 27. Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes be not burned? 28. Or can one walk upon hot coals, And his feet not be scorched? 29. So he that goeth in to his neighbor's wife; Whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished. 30. Men do not despise a thief, if he steal To satisfy himself when he is hungry: 31....
