Proverbios 6:14-24

14 el que con perversidad en su corazón, continuamente trama el mal, el que siembra discordia.

15 Por tanto su desgracia vendrá de repente; al instante será quebrantado, y no habrá remedio.

16 Seis cosas hay que odia el SEÑOR, y siete son abominación para El:

17 ojos soberbios, lengua mentirosa, manos que derraman sangre inocente,

18 un corazón que maquina planes perversos, pies que corren rápidamente hacia el mal,

19 un testigo falso que dice mentiras, y el que siembra discordia entre hermanos.

20 Hijo mío, guarda el mandamiento de tu padre, y no abandones la enseñanza de tu madre;

21 átalos de continuo en tu corazón, enlázalos a tu cuello.

22 Cuando andes, te guiarán; cuando duermas, velarán por ti; y al despertarte, hablarán contigo.

23 Porque el mandamiento es lámpara, y la enseñanza luz, y camino de vida las reprensiones de la instrucción,

24 para librarte de la mujer mala, de la lengua suave de la desconocida.

Proverbios 6:14-24 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PROVERBS 6

In this chapter the wise man dissuades from rash suretyship; exposes the sin of idleness; describes a wicked man; makes mention of seven things hateful to God; exhorts to attend to parental instructions and precepts, and cautions against adultery. Suretyship is described, Pr 6:1; and represented as a snare and a net, in which men are taken, Pr 6:2; and advice is given what to do in such a case, for safety in it, and deliverance from it, Pr 6:3-5; The sin of slothfulness is exposed, by observing the industry of the ant, Pr 6:6-8; by expostulating with the sluggard for his continuance in sloth, and by mimicking him, Pr 6:9,10; and by the poverty it brings upon him, Pr 6:11. Then a naughty wicked man is described, by his mouth, eyes, feet, fingers, and heart, whose ruin is sudden and inevitable, Pr 6:11-15. The seven things hateful to God are particularly named, Pr 6:16-19. And next the exhortation in some preceding chapters is reassumed, to attend to the instructions of parents; which will be found ornamental, pleasant, and useful, Pr 6:20-23. Especially to preserve from the lewd woman cautioned against, Pr 6:24,25; whose company is dissuaded from; on account of the extreme poverty and distress she brings persons to, and even danger of life, Pr 6:26; from the unavoidable ruin such come into, Pr 6:27-29; from the sin of uncleanness being greater than that of theft, Pr 6:30,31; from the folly the adulterer betrays; from the destruction of his soul, and the disgrace he brings on himself, Pr 6:32,33; and from the rage and irreconcilable offence of the husband of the adulteress, Pr 6:34,35.
