Proverbios 7:21-Isaías RVA

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 7:6-23

Solomon here, to enforce the caution he had given against the sin of whoredom, tells a story of a young man that was ruined to all intents and purposes by the enticements of an adulterous woman. Such a story as this would serve the lewd profane poets of our age to make a play of, and the harlot with them would be a heroine; nothing would be so entertaining to the audience, nor give them so much diversion, as her arts of beguiling the young gentleman and drawing in the country squire; her... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 7:1-27

A tragedy of temptation This is a fine piece of dramatic moral description, and there is no reason why it should not be made use of, handled with tact and delicacy, with an audience of young men. I.

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 7:1-27

The two ways Here we have— I. THE WAY OF SIN AND DEATH . This is: 1 . The way of thoughtlessness. It is the "simple ones," the "young men void of understanding" ( Proverbs 7:7 ), those who go heedlessly "near the corner," "the way to the house" of the tempter or the temptress ( Proverbs 7:8 ). It is those who "do not consider," who do not think who they are, what they are here for, whither they go, what the end will be;—it is these who go astray and are found in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 7:6-23

To show the greatness of the danger presented by the seductions of the temptress, the writer introduces no mere abstraction, no mere personification of a quality, but an actual example of what had passed before his own eyes. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 7:6-27

Profilgacy It would not, perhaps, be wise for any one to discuss this subject in the presence of a general congregation. The sin is so fearfully contaminating that it is scarcely possible to touch it in any way without contracting some defilement; and the few who might benefit by a public exposure of the evils of profligacy would be greatly outnumbered by the multitude of people, especially the young, to whom the direction of attention to it would be unwholesome. But on special... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 7:21

Thus far we have had the adulteress introduced speaking; now the narrative proceeds. With her much fair speech she caused him to yield. First, she influenced his mind, and bent his will to her purpose by her evil eloquence. The Hebrew word means "doctrine, or learning"—devil's pleading ( Proverbs 1:5 ; Proverbs 9:9 ). St. Jerome has irretivit, "she netted him;" Septuagint, "She caused him to go astray ( ἀπεπλάνησε ) by much converse." She talked him over, though indeed he had put... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 7:21-23

Proverbs 7:21-23 . With her much fair speech Which implies that her alluring words were more effectual with him than her impudent kisses, which possibly had a little alienated his mind from her; she caused him to yield By this expression Solomon signifies that no provocation to sin is a sufficient excuse for it. With the flattering of her lips she forced him She prevailed over him; which argues that there was some reluctance in his judgment, or conscience, against yielding to her. He... read more
