SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:20
el saco de dinero llevó en su mano, el día de la fiesta volverá a su casa.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 7:20
Verse 20. He hath taken ] Literally, "The money bag he hath taken in his hand." He is gone a journey of itinerant merchandising. This seems to be what is intended. And will come home at the day appointed. ] askh µwyl leyom hakkase, the time fixed for a return from such a journey. The Vulgate says, "at the full moon." The Targum, "the day of the assembly." In other words, He will return by the approaching festival.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. He hath taken a bag of money with him , etc.] Or, “in his hand” f193 ; either for merchandise, as Gersom; or for defraying: the charges of his journey; and both suppose length of time: if for merchandise, it required time to purchase goods, and see them packed up and sent away; or if for his journey, since it was not a few pieces of money he put in his pocket to defray expenses, but a bag of it he carried in his hand, it shows that he should be out a considerable time; [and] will come home at the day appointed ; and not before: Aben Ezra interprets it, at the beginning of the month, at the new moon, when the moon is covered f194 , which Horace calls “tricessima sabbata”: but rather it is to be understood of the full moon, as Aquila and the Vulgate Latin version render it; when it is light all night, and so a proper time for travelling home again. Gersom takes it to mean the beginning of the year, when the holy blessed God, parabolically speaking, sits upon a throne to judge the world in righteousness: the Targum calls it the day of the congregation; some fixed festival day, when the congregation meets together; and at such a festival, or appointed time, this good man had fixed for his return, and when, and not before, he would. This she says to remove all fears from the young man of being surprised and caught by her husband. There is an appointed time for Christ’s second coming, when he will certainly come, and not before; and which is supposed to be at a great distance of time: and therefore wicked men and seducers, and such as the apostate church of Rome make use of to encourage themselves in their wickedness, in hopes of impunity, put the evil day far away from them; but in the appointed time Christ will come, and call his servants to an account, good and bad.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-27 - Here is an affecting example of the danger of youthful lusts. It is history or a parable of the most instructive kind. Will any one dare to venture on temptations that lead to impurity, after Solomon has se before his eyes in so lively and plain a manner, the danger of eve going near them? Then is he as the man who would dance on the edge of lofty rock, when he has just seen another fall headlong from the sam place. The misery of self-ruined sinners began in disregard to God' blessed commands. We ought daily to pray that we may be kept from running into temptation, else we invite the enemies of our souls to spread snares for us. Ever avoid the neighbourhood of vice. Beware of sins which are said to be pleasant sins. They are the more dangerous because they most easily gain the heart, and close it agains repentance. Do nothing till thou hast well considered the end of it Were a man to live as long as Methuselah, and to spend all his days in the highest delights sin can offer, one hour of the anguish an tribulation that must follow, would far outweigh them __________________________________________________________________
