Proverbes 5:8 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 5:8

Remove thy way far from her
The way of the mind, walk, and conversation; keep at the greatest distance from her; neither come where she is, nor look at her, nor converse with her; shun her, as one would the pest or a loathsome carcass; go a good way about rather than come near her, or be within sight of her, or so as to be in any danger of being ensnared by her; and come not nigh the door of her house;
not only not enter her chamber, but go not to her house; no, not over the threshold of the door, nor near the door; but avoid her house, as one would a house that has the plague in it. Men should not go in the way of temptation, trusting to their own strength; they may be entangled and overcome before they are aware; is good to keep out of the way of it. And as it becomes the children of Wisdom to wait at her gates, and at the posts of her door, to gain knowledge and understanding of divine things; so they should not go within the doors of false teachers, nor near them, nor admit them within theirs. It is a complaint against the church at Thyatira, that she suffered the woman Jezebel, the Romish harlot, to teach and seduce the servants of Christ, or connived at their attendance on her, ( Revelation 2:20 ) .

Proverbes 5:8 In-Context

6 Afin de ne pas considérer le chemin de la vie, Elle est errante dans ses voies, elle ne sait où elle va.

7 Et maintenant, mes fils, écoutez-moi, Et ne vous écartez pas des paroles de ma bouche.

8 Eloigne-toi du chemin qui conduit chez elle, Et ne t'approche pas de la porte de sa maison,

9 De peur que tu ne livres ta vigueur à d'autres, Et tes années à un homme cruel;

10 De peur que des étrangers ne se rassasient de ton bien, Et du produit de ton travail dans la maison d'autrui;
