SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:20
¿Y por qué, hijo mío, andarás ciego con la ajena, y abrazarás el seno de la extraña?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman , etc.] Or “err with her” f119 ; after all those inconveniences and miseries that follow upon a conversation with a harlot, and all those advantages of a marriage state set before thee; why wilt thou be, so foolish and mad as to have a fondness for an harlot and dote upon her, and neglect entering into a marriage state, or forsake the wife of youth? and yet though things are so clearly stated and aptly represented, and the expostulation made in the most tender and affectionate manner; it is suggested as if after all it would not be attended unto, but a harlot be preferred to a wife of youth, a filthy beast to a loving hind, and dirty puddles of water in a ditch to running streams from a well or fountain; and embrace the bosom of a stranger ? that is not thy wife; a description of unlawful love and impure embraces, which are dissuaded from.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-23 - Lawful marriage is a means God has appointed to keep from thes destructive vices. But we are not properly united, except as we atten to God's word, seeking his direction and blessing, and acting with affection. Ever remember, that though secret sins may escape the eye of our fellow-creatures, yet a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, who not only sees, but ponders all his goings. Those who are s foolish as to choose the way of sin, are justly left of God to themselves, to go on in the way to destruction __________________________________________________________________
