SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:25
No codicies su hermosura en tu corazón, ni ella te prenda con sus ojos;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:25
Verse 25. Neither let her take thee with her eye-lids. ] It is a very general custom in the East to paint the eye-lids. I have many Asiatic drawings in which this is expressed. They have a method of polishing the eyes with a preparation of antimony, so that they appear with an indescribable lustre; or, as one who mentions the fact from observation, "Their eyes appear to be swimming in bliss."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart , etc.] Do not look upon it with the eye, nor dwell upon it in the thought; the one will lead on to and kindle last in the heart, and the other will cherish it and blow it up into a flame; and lust thus conceived and nourished in the heart is no other than committing adultery, ( Matthew 5:28); neither let her take thee with her eyelids ; let her not take thee from instruction with them, so Aben Ezra, from attending to that; or let her not take thy wisdom from thee, so Jarchi; or rather let her not take thee as in a net, with the sparkling of her eyes, with the wanton and amorous glances of them; so the Syriac version, “let her not captivate thee”, etc. which applied to the antichristian church, may signify the outward pomp and grandeur of it, its pretensions to antiquity, to the apostolic see, to infallibility, miracles, great devotion, etc. which are taking to men, and are the Circean cup with which she bewitches and allures, ( Revelation 17:4). The Targum is, “let her not seduce thee,” etc.
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 __________________________________________________________________
