SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:16

¶ El hombre que yerra del camino de la sabiduría, vendrá a parar en la compańía de los muertos.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 21:16

Verse 16. The man once enlightened, that wandereth out of the way of understanding, in which he had walked, shall remain- have a permanent residence-in the
congregation of the dead; µyapr rephaim, the lost; either separate spirits in general, or rather the assembly of separate spirits, which had fallen from primitive rectitude; and shall not be restored to the Divine favour; particularly those sinners who were destroyed by the deluge.

This passage intimates that those called rephaim are in a state of conscious existence. It is difficult to assign the true meaning of the word in several places where it occurs: but it seems to mean the state of separate spirits, i.e., of those separated from their bodies, and awaiting the judgment of the great day: but the congregation may also include the fallen angels. My old MS. Bible translates, "The man that errith fro the wei of doctrine, in the felowschip of geantis schal wonnen".


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 16. The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding , etc.] The way of getting understanding, the good ways and word of God; that wanders from the house of God, the assembly of the saints, where the Gospel is preached, and the ordinances are administered; that, instead of attending on them, where he might gain the understanding of divine and spiritual things, wanders about in the fields, gets into bad company, walks with them in their ways, and turns to his own, as a sheep that goes astray: he shall remain in the congregation of the dead ; among those that are spiritually dead, dead in trespasses and sins; such an one he himself is, and such he is like to continue, and not be written among the living in Jerusalem; or among those who die the second and eternal death, among the damned in hell; so Jarchi interprets it of the congregation of hell; and a large congregation that will be, but dreadful to have an abode with them.

The words are rendered by the Septuagint, and the versions that follow that, “shall rest in the congregation of the giants”; which some interpret of devils, and others of the giants of the old world f581 , damned spirits: resting with them does not design peace and quietness, for there will be none there; but a fixed settled abode, in opposition to wandering, in the preceding clause.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 16 - Of all wanderers in the ways of sin, those are in the most dangerou condition who turn aside into the ways of darkness. Yet there is hop even for them in the all-sufficient Saviour; but let them flee to his without delay.
