SEV Biblia, Chapter 29:5
¶ El hombre que lisonjea a su prójimo, red tiende delante de sus pasos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:5
Verse 5. Spreadeth a net for his feet. ] Beware of a flatterer; he does not flatter merely to please you, but to deceive you and profit himself.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. A man that flattereth his neighbour , etc.] That speaks smooth things to him gives him flattering titles, speaks fair to his face, highly commends him on one account or another: spreadeth a net for his feet ; has an idle design upon him, and therefore should be guarded against; his view is to draw him into a snare and make a prey of him; he attacks him on his weak side, and hopes to make some advantage of it to himself; wherefore flatterers should be avoided as pernicious persons; or he spreads a net for his own feet, and is taken in the snare which he had laid for his neighbour; or falls into the pit he dug for him, as Gersom observes; (see <19E005> Psalm 140:5 Hosea 5:1).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5 - Flatterers put men off their guard, which betrays them into foolis conduct.
