SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:23

Porque el mandamiento es candela, y la enseñanza luz; y camino de vida las reprensiones del castigo;

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:23

Verse 23. For the
commandment is a lamp ] It illuminates our path. It shows us how we should walk and praise God.

And the law is light ] A general light, showing the nature and will of GOD, and the interest and duty of MAN.

And reproofs of instruction ] Or, that instruction which reproves us for our sins and errors leads us into the way of life.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 23. For the commandment [is] a lamp , etc.] The law of God is a lamp or candle to see to work by and to walk by; it enlightens the eyes and directs the feet, and makes working more pleasant, and walking more comfortable; and indeed wit, bout it a man knows not rightly what to do or where he should walk, or where he is walking; (see <19B9105> Psalm 119:105); and the law [is] light ; it makes things clear and manifest, what is right and what is wrong; it enlightens the eyes of the understanding, whereby persons come to see both their sin and their duty; and it directs them to avoid the one and do the other; (see Psalm 19:8); and reproofs of instruction [are] the way life ; kind reproofs given by parents agreeable to the word of God, which instruct what should be shunned and what should be performed, when attended to, put men in the way of an honourable and useful life; and are the means of preserving them from a scandalous and useless one.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 20-35 - The word of
God has something to say to us upon all occasions. Let no faithful reproofs ever make us uneasy. When we consider how much thi sin abounds, how heinous adultery is in its own nature, of what evi consequence it is, and how certainly it destroys the spiritual life in the soul, we shall not wonder that the cautions against it are so ofte repeated. Let us notice the subjects of this chapter. Let us remembe Him who willingly became our Surety, when we were strangers an enemies. And shall Christians, who have such prospects, motives, an examples, be slothful and careless? Shall we neglect what is pleasin to God, and what he will graciously reward? May we closely watch ever sense by which poison can enter our minds or affections __________________________________________________________________
