SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:22
Se va en pos de ella luego, como va el buey al degolladero, y como el loco a las prisiones para ser castigado;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 7:22
Verse 22. As an ox goeth to the slaughter ] The original of this and the following verse has been variously translated. Dr. Grey corrects and translates thus: "He goeth after her straightway, as an OX goeth to the SLAUGHTER; as a DOG to the CHAIN; and as a DEER till the DART strike through his liver; as a BIRD hasteneth to the SNARE, and knoweth not that it is for its life." Very slight alterations in the Hebrew text produce these differences; but it is not necessary to pursue them; all serve to mark the stupidity and folly of the man who is led away by enticing women or who lives a life of intemperance.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. He goeth after her straightway , etc.] Or “suddenly” f199 ; and inconsiderately, giving himself no time to think of what would be the sad consequences of it; as an ox goeth to the slaughter ; as senseless and stupid as that; and as ignorant of the issue as that is, led by the butcher, as if it was going to a pasture, when it is going to the slaughter house. So such persons as are ensnared by harlots; they follow them in a view of pleasure, but it ends in ruin; if not in the loss of bodily life, by the revengeful husband or civil magistrate; yet in the destruction of their immortal souls; or as a fool to the correction of the stocks ; a drunken besotted fool, who, while he is leading to the stocks, is insensible whither he is going; but when he has been there awhile, and is come out of his drunken fit, then he is sensible of his punishment and his shame. Or, “as the stocks are for the correction of a fool” f200 : or, as a man goes to “the stocks, to the correction of a fool” f201 ; so the young man went after the harlot: or, as “one fettered” f202 , goes thither, bound hand and foot; he cannot help himself, nor avoid the shame. It denotes both the power of sin, there is no withstanding its allurements and blandishments, when once given way to, and the shame that attends or follows it. The Targum is, “as a dog to a chain;” and so the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions.
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 __________________________________________________________________
