SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:17
Sean para ti solo, y no para los extraños contigo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 5:17
Verse 17. Let them be only thine own ] The off-spring of a legitimate connection; a bastard brood, however numerous, is no credit to any man.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee .] Or “they shall be thine own” f116 , as the Targum; meaning not the cistern, the well, or the wife, but the fountains and rivers, or the children; by a man’s cleaving to his own wife, who is a chaste and virtuous woman, he is satisfied that the children he has by her are his own, and not another’s; whereas if he has to do with a common harlot, it is uncertain whose children they are, she prostituting herself to many: it may be applied to the peculiar possession and steadfast retention of the truths of the Gospel, in opposition to all divers and strange doctrines propagated by others; (see Revelation 2:25 3:11).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-23 - Lawful marriage is a means God has appointed to keep from thes destructive vices. But we are not properly united, except as we atten to God's word, seeking his direction and blessing, and acting with affection. Ever remember, that though secret sins may escape the eye of our fellow-creatures, yet a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, who not only sees, but ponders all his goings. Those who are s foolish as to choose the way of sin, are justly left of God to themselves, to go on in the way to destruction __________________________________________________________________
