SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:7
Ahora pues, hijos, oídme, y no os apartéis de las razones de mi boca.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 5:7
Verse 7. Hear me-O ye children ] µynb banim, sons, young men in general: for these are the most likely to be deceived and led astray.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. Hear me now therefore, O ye children , etc.] Since such is the character, this the wretched end, and these the ways of the adulterous woman; those that are young in years, and liable to be ensnared by her, should hear what Solomon, or Christ, here says, for their caution and instruction; and especially such who are, or profess themselves to be, the children of God and of Christ; and therefore, as dear children, should be followers of them, and not of an harlot; and depart not from the words of my mouth ; the warnings, directions, and exhortations given to avoid the whorish woman; the doctrines of Christ, the truths of the Gospel: these should not be forsaken, but abode by; and also his precepts and ordinances, which should be closely attended unto.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-14 - Solomon cautions all young men, as his children, to abstain from fleshly lusts. Some, by the adulterous woman, here understand idolatry false doctrine, which tends to lead astray men's minds and manners; but the direct view is to warn against seventh-commandment sins. Ofte these have been, and still are, Satan's method of drawing men from the worship of God into false religion. Consider how fatal the consequences; how bitter the fruit! Take it any way, it wounds. I leads to the torments of hell. The direct tendency of this sin is to the destruction of body and soul. We must carefully avoid every thin which may be a step towards it. Those who would be kept from harm, mus keep out of harm's way. If we thrust ourselves into temptation we moc God when we pray, Lead us not into temptation. How many mischief attend this sin! It blasts the reputation; it wastes time; it ruins the estate; it is destructive to health; it will fill the mind with horror Though thou art merry now, yet sooner or later it will bring sorrow The convinced sinner reproaches himself, and makes no excuse for his folly. By the frequent acts of sin, the habits of it become rooted an confirmed. By a miracle of mercy true repentance may prevent the dreadful consequences of such sins; but this is not often; far more di as they have lived. What can express the case of the self-ruined sinne in the eternal world, enduring the remorse of his conscience!
