SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:32
Mas el que comete adulterio con la mujer, es falto de corazón; corrompe su alma el que tal hace.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:32
Verse 32. But whoso committeth adultery ] The case understood is that of a married man: he has a wife; and therefore is not in the circumstances of the poor thief, who stole to appease his hunger, having nothing to eat. In this alone the opposition between the two cases is found: the thief had no food, and he stole some; the married man had a wife, and yet went in to the wife of his neighbour.
Destroyeth his own soul. ] Sins against his life, for, under the law of Moses, adultery was punished with death; Lev. xx. 10; Deut. xxii. 22.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 32. [But] whoso committeth adultery with a woman , etc.] Which is a greater degree of theft than the former, it being the stealing of another man’s wife; lacketh understanding ; or “an heart” f163 ; the thief lacks bread, and therefore steals, but this man lacks wisdom, and therefore acts so foolish a part; the one does it to satisfy hunger, the other a brutish lust; he [that] doeth it destroyeth his own soul ; is liable to have his life taken away by the husband of the adulteress; so according to Solon’s law the adulterer taken in the act might be killed by the husband: or by the civil magistrate; for according to the law of. Moses he was to die, either to be strangled or stoned, (see Gill on “ John 8:5”); and besides, he not only ruins the natural faculties of his soul, besotting, corrupting, and depraving that, giving his heart to a whore, but brings eternal destruction on it; yet so foolish is he, though it issues in the ruin of his precious soul; “he does this” f165 , for so the first part of this clause, which stands last in the original text, may be rendered.
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 __________________________________________________________________
