Proverbios 7:19 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 7:19

For the good man [is] not at home
Or, "for the man is not in his house" F25. She does not say, "my man", or "my husband"; though the Septuagint. Syriac, and Arabic versions so render it; lest this should throw some difficulty in the young man's way, or remind herself of her conjugal obligation; but "the man", by way of contempt, as disowning him for her husband, or, however, having no regard for him in comparison of others: and this she says to encourage the young man to go with her; since her husband was gone, and show as alone, and mistress of the house; he is gone a long journey;
or, "a way afar off" F26; into a distant country, and therefore need not fears return of him that night; she was prepared to answer all objections. The good man of the house may be understood of Christ, who is gone into a far country, to heaven, to take a kingdom to himself, and return, ( Luke 19:12 ) ; and in the mean while the church of Rome, who professes herself the true church and spouse of Christ, is committing fornication with the kings of the earth; and has set up another in his room and stead, whom she calls Christ's vicar on earth; and flatters herself and her lovers with impunity, from his distance from her, and his vicar having a right to do as he pleases.

Proverbios 7:19 In-Context

17 La he perfumado
con mirra, áloes y canela.
18 Ven, bebamos sin medida la copa del amor hasta el amanecer.
Disfrutemos de nuestras caricias,
19 ahora que mi esposo no está en casa.
Se fue de viaje por mucho tiempo.
20 Se llevó la cartera llena de dinero
y no regresará hasta fin de mes».
21 Y así lo sedujo con sus dulces palabras
y lo engatusó con sus halagos.
