SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:5
Escápate como la gacela de la mano del cazador , y como el ave de la mano del parancero.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:5
Verse 5. Deliver thyself as a roe ] ybx tsebi, the antelope. If thou art got into the snare, get out if thou possibly canst; make every struggle and excertion, as the antelope taken in the net, and the bird taken in the snare would, in order to get free from thy captivity.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand [of the hunter] , etc.] As such a creature, which is very swift, when it is got into the hand of the hunter, will strive and struggle to get out; so should a man try all ways and means to get out of his suretyship engagements, especially when he finds himself liable to danger by it; this he should do “immediately” and “out of hand” f127 , as the phrase here used sometimes signifies with the Jewish writers; and as a bird from the hand of the fowler ; another metaphor, signifying the same thing.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - If we live as directed by the word of God, we shall find it profitabl even in this present world. We are stewards of our worldly substance and have to answer to the Lord for our disposal of it; to waste it is rash schemes, or such plans as may entangle us in difficulties an temptations, is wrong. A man ought never to be surety for more than he is able and willing to pay, and can afford to pay, without wronging his family; he ought to look upon every sum he is engaged for, as his ow debt. If we must take all this care to get our debts to men forgiven much more to obtain forgiveness with God. Humble thyself to him, make sure of Christ as thy Friend, to plead for thee; pray earnestly tha thy sins may be pardoned, and that thou mayest be kept from going dow to the pit.
