Provérbios 6:18-28

18 coração que maquina projetos iníquos, pés que se apressam a correr para o mal;
19 testemunha falsa que profere mentiras, e o que semeia contendas entre irmãos.
20 Filho meu, guarda o mandamento de, teu pai, e não abandones a instrução de tua mãe;
21 ata-os perpetuamente ao teu coração, e pendura-os ao teu pescoço.
22 Quando caminhares, isso te guiará; quando te deitares, te guardará; quando acordares, falará contigo.
23 Porque o mandamento é uma lâmpada, e a instrução uma luz; e as repreensões da disciplina são o caminho da vida,
24 para te guardarem da mulher má, e das lisonjas da língua da adúltera.
25 Não cobices no teu coração a sua formosura, nem te deixes prender pelos seus olhares.
26 Porque o preço da prostituta é apenas um bocado de pão, mas a adúltera anda � caça da própria vida do homem.
27 Pode alguém tomar fogo no seu seio, sem que os seus vestidos se queimem?
28 Ou andará sobre as brasas sem que se queimem os seus pés?

Provérbios 6:18-28 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.
