no consentirás con él, ni le darás oído; ni tu ojo le perdonará, ni tendrás compasión, ni lo encubrirás;

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 8. Thou shall not consent unto him , etc.] To commit the idolatry enticed unto, or join with him in it: nor hearken to him ; not so much as patiently to hear him, but at once express an abhorrence of and indignation at what he recommends: neither shall thine eye pity him ; pitied he might be for his ignorance, stupidity, and wickedness, and on account of the miserable estate and condition he was in, and of those dreadful consequences which would follow upon it, if not converted from it; but no mercy was to be shown him on account of nearness of relation: neither shall thou spare ; to reprove him sharply and to expose him to public vengeance: neither shall thou conceal him ; neither him nor his sin, but make both public, acquaint others with it, and endeavour to bring him before the civil magistrate to be examined, tried, and judged; so far should they be from hiding his offence from others, or excusing and extenuating it, or from harbouring his person privately when sought for upon information.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 6-11 - It is the policy of Satan to try to lead us to evil by those whom we love, whom we least suspect of any ill design, and whom we are desirou to please, and apt to conform to. The enticement here is supposed to come from a brother or child, who are near by nature; from a wife of friend, who are near by choice, and are to us as our souls. But it is our duty to prefer God and religion, before the nearest and deares friends we have in the world. We must not, to please our friends, brea God's law. Thou shalt not consent to him, nor go with him, not for company, or curiosity, not to gain his affections. It is a genera rule, If sinners entice thee, consent thou not, Pr 1:10. And we mus not hinder the course of God's justice.
