SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:21
Pues que los caminos del hombre están ante los ojos del SEÑOR, ¡y él pesa todas sus veredas!
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 5:21
Verse 21. For the ways of a man ] Whether they are public or private, God sees all the steps thou takest in life.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 21. For the ways of a man [are] before the eyes of the Lord , etc.] Both good and bad; the ways of a chaste and virtuous man, who cleaves to his own wife and shuns the harlot, which are approved of by the Lord; and the ways of a lewd man, all the impure thoughts, desires, and contrivances of his mind, and all the steps he takes to commit lewdness, and all the filthy actions he is guilty of, these are all open and naked to the omniscient God: the adulterer seeks the twilight, and flatters himself with secrecy, not considering that the eye of God is upon him; there are many, that, were their filthy actions known to men, they would be ashamed of them; and this consideration greatly deters from them, and puts them upon secret ways of committing them; much more should the consideration of the divine omniscience weigh with them to avoid them; which is the argument here made use of; and he pondereth all his goings ; he not only sees them, but takes notice of them, and observes them, and ponders them in his mind, and lays them up there, in order to bring to an account for them hereafter; yea, he weighs them in the balance of justice, and will proportion the punishment unto them, according to the rules of it; when it must go ill with those that follow such lewd practices, ( Hebrews 13:4 Revelation 22:12,15).
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 __________________________________________________________________
