Proverbs 6:33 Meaning and Commentary
Proverbs 6:33
FOOTNOTES:
F24 in later times; or from the civil magistrate, being ordered by him to be beaten F25 or stoned; or from God himself inflicting diseases on him; see ( Genesis 12:17 ) ; where the same word is used as here: and "dishonour" from men; for though they do not despise a thief in circumstances before related, yet they will despise an adulterer, and speak reproachfully of him, whenever they have occasion to make mention of him; and his reproach shall not be wiped away;
as long as he lives, though his life may be spared; yea, it shall even continue after death; and though he may repent of his sin and reform, as in the case of David.

A wound and dishonour shall he get
A wound, stroke, or blow, either from the husband of the strumpet, as was often the case
F24 in later times; or from the civil magistrate, being ordered by him to be beaten F25 or stoned; or from God himself inflicting diseases on him; see ( Genesis 12:17 ) ; where the same word is used as here: and "dishonour" from men; for though they do not despise a thief in circumstances before related, yet they will despise an adulterer, and speak reproachfully of him, whenever they have occasion to make mention of him; and his reproach shall not be wiped away;
as long as he lives, though his life may be spared; yea, it shall even continue after death; and though he may repent of his sin and reform, as in the case of David.

Proverbs 6:33 In-Context
31
And being found he repayeth sevenfold, All the substance of his house he giveth.
32
He who committeth adultery [with] a woman lacketh heart, He is destroying his soul who doth it.
33
A stroke and shame he doth find, And his reproach is not wiped away,
34
For jealousy [is] the fury of a man, And he doth not spare in a day of vengeance.
35
He accepteth not the appearance of any atonement, Yea, he doth not consent, Though thou dost multiply bribes!
