Provérbios 5
William MacDonald reminds us "The price of going to bed with her is enormous—guilty conscience, remorse, scandal, venereal disease, wrecked marriage, broken home, mental disturbance, and a host of other ills. (MacDonald, W & Farstad, A. Believer's Bible Commentary: Thomas Nelson) George Lawson - Pr 5:4. The venom and sting of a serpent is concealed under the honey of her lips. Those who repent of their uncleanness will experience far more bitterness than ever they tasted pleasure, in their unlawful gratifications. But few get so well off, and if persons continue hardened, the end is more bitter than death. It is like a sharp two-edged sword, which wounds and destroys both soul and body at once. (Lawson's Exposition of Proverbs - Spurgeon said "A thoroughly sound and useful commentary. Lawson wrote popularly and vigorously.") Proverbs 5:5 Her feet go down to death, Her steps take hold of Sheol. Pr 2:18,19; 7:27 Earlier Solomon had described the strange woman and the adulteress that left her husband and their covenant of marriage, warning that... her house sinks down to death, and her tracks lead to the dead. None who go to her return again, Nor do they reach the paths of life. (Pr 2:18, 19) And in chapter 7 Solomon again emphasizes that... Her house is the way to Sheol, descending to the chambers of death. (Pr 7:27) Bridges - her path of death; every step taking hold of hell, as if invading it with a high hand, grasping it as her home. (Pr 2:18, 7:27, 9:18, 1Cor 6:9, 18, Rev 21:8) (Proverbs 5 Exposition) Feet go down to death...Sheol - Solomon's strong warning is that the morally loose woman will lead her unwitting (foolish) male consort straight to the place of the dead! (See dictionary discussion of Sheol which is a noun meaning the world of the dead, the realm under the earth in which the dead reside. Vine calls Sheol "the netherworld or the underground cavern to which all buried dead go") Warren Wiersbe makes an excellent point that "The book of Proverbs emphasizes the importance of looking ahead to see where your actions will lead you (see Pr 5:11; 14:12, 13, 14; 16:25; 19:20; 20:21; 23:17, 18, 32; 24:14, 20; 25:8 - see these verses below). The wise person checks on the destination before buying a ticket (Pr 4:26), but modern society thinks that people can violate God's laws and escape the consequences. They're sure that whatever has happened to others will never happen to them. Sad to say, their ignorance and insolence can never neutralize the tragic aftermath that comes when people break the laws of God. "Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!" (Deut 32:29, cp Nu 32:33) (Prov 5:11) And you groan at your final end, When your flesh and your body are consumed; (Prov 14:12) There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. (Prov 14:13) Even in laughter the heart may be in pain, And the end of joy may be grief. (Prov 14:14) The backslider in heart will have his fill of his own ways, But a good man will be satisfied with his. (Prov 16:25) There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. (Prov 19:20) Listen to counsel and accept discipline, That you may be wise the rest of your days. (Prov 20:21) An inheritance gained hurriedly at the beginning Will not be blessed in the end. (Prov 23:17) Do not let your heart envy sinners, But live in the fear of the LORD always. (Prov 23:18) Surely there is a future, And your hope will not be cut off. (Prov 23:32) At the last it bites like a serpent And stings like a viper. (Prov 24:14) Know that wisdom is thus for your soul; If you find it, then there will be a future, And your hope will not be cut off. (Prov 24:20) For there will be no future for the evil man; The lamp of the wicked will be put out. (Prov 25:8) Do not go out hastily to argue your case; Otherwise, what will you do in the end, When your neighbor humiliates you? David Watson writes that "The expression 'free love' is a contradiction in terms. If it's free, it's not love; if it's love, it's not free. (Ed: The end of the deadly deception of "free love" is death! See James 1:15, 16- note) George Lawson - Pr 5:5. She is on the highway to eternal ruin, and thither she is carrying those that listen to her bewitching voice. Her house is in the suburbs of the place of destruction, and her steps take hold of hell. David was in great fear when he said to his friend, “As the Lord liveth, there is but a step between me and death.” But there is not even this small interval between the steps of the strange woman and hell. They already take hold of it. But may not persons, when they see this danger before their eyes, make a timely retreat to the paths of life? No. In must cases this is not to be expected. (Lawson's Exposition of Proverbs - Spurgeon said "A thoroughly sound and useful commentary. Lawson wrote popularly and vigorously.") Proverbs 5:6 She does not ponder the path of life; Her ways are unstable, she does not know it. Ponder - Pr 4:26; Psalms 119:59 Path - Pr 11:19; Psalms 16:11 Her ways - Pr 6:12,13; 7:10-21; 2Th 2:9,10 For she cares nothing about the path to life. She staggers down a crooked trail and doesn't realize it. (NLT - Tyndale House) The high road of Life is not for her, shifty and slippery are her tracks. (Moffatt). She loses sight of and walks not in the path of life; her ways wind about aimlessly, and you cannot know them. (Amplified Bible - Lockman) Bridges - One feature of the tempter’s wiliness is most remarkable. She winds herself in a thousand moveable ways, to meet the varying humors and circumstances (Pr 6:12, 13, 7:12). She works upon every weakness; seizes every unguarded moment—all this with one deeply hidden object—lest thou should ponder the path of life. The checks of conscience must be diverted. No time must be given for reflection. The intrusion of one serious thought might break the spell, and open the way of escape. (Ps 119:59, Ezek 18:28, Lk 15:17) (Proverbs 5 Exposition) She does not ponder the path of life - If she did, surely she would avoid the stairway to death and hades! Ponder (06424) (palac) means to weigh out, to make level, to calculate the weight of something. Here palac is used figuratively of "weighing out" the value of pursuing righteousness on the path of life. Such a lifestyle does not interest the adulteress. Her attitude is "Life is short. Grab all the gusto you can while you can!" In not walking in God's prescribed path of life (life to the full as God intended), she completely misses the real purpose of life, true pleasure forevermore and fullness of joy found only in His presence (see Ps 16:11 - Spurgeon's note). There are 6 uses in the OT - Ps. 58:2; 78:50; Pr 4:26; 5:6, 21; Is 26:7. The adulteress does the exact opposite that wisdom commands... Proverbs 4:26 Ponder the path of your feet; then (when?) all your ways will be sure. (ESV) (Ed: Proverbs are not necessarily promises, but nevertheless are generally true statements. Here we see a condition coupled with a true statement that has the ring of a "promise".) Unstable (KJV - moveable, ESV - her ways wander) (05128) (nuac) is a verb which conveys the picture of a repetitive movement (cp 1Sa 1:13 Hannah's lips), to and fro, and thus literally means to shake (eg, out of fear, Ex 20:18), stagger or to wander. There are 36 uses of nuac in the OT - Ge 4:12, 14; Ex 20:18; Nu 32:13; Jdg. 9:9, 11, 13; 1Sa 1:13; 2Sa 15:20; 2Ki 19:21; 23:18; Job 16:4; 28:4; Ps 22:7; 59:11, 15; 107:27; 109:10, 25; Pr 5:6; Is 6:4; 7:2; 19:1; 24:20; 29:9; 37:22; Je 14:10; Lam. 2:15; 4:14, 15; Da 10:10; Amos 4:8; 8:12; 9:9; Nah. 3:12; Zeph. 2:15.
