Proverbi 4:15 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 4:15

Avoid it
As dangerous and pernicious, as abominable and detestable; or, "flee from it", as the Vulgate Latin version: Jarchi and Gersom interpret it, "make it void"; cause it to cease, destroy it, do all you can to hinder the wicked from accomplishing their designs; pass not by it;
do not come near it; keep at a distance from it, that you may not be drawn into it; abstain from all appearance of evil, and everything that may lead to it; turn from it, and pass away;
the Targum adds, "from them", from wicked men. This heap of words is used to show the danger of bad company; to dissuade from the least approach to it; and to express the vehement desire of the wise man to preserve his son, and all well inclined persons, from it.

13 Attienti all’ammaestramento, non lasciarlo; Guardalo, perciocchè esso è la tua vita.

14 Non entrare nel sentiero degli empi; E non camminar per la via de’ malvagi.

15 Schifala, non passar per essa; Stornatene, e passa oltre.

16 Perciocchè essi non possono dormire, se non hanno fatto qualche male; E il sonno s’invola loro, se non hanno fatto cader qualcuno.

17 Conciossiachè mangino il pane dell’empietà, E bevano il vino delle violenze.
