SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:5
Sus pies descienden a la muerte; sus pasos sustentan el sepulcro;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 5:5
Verse 5. Her feet go down to death ] She first, like a serpent, infuses her poison, by which the whole constitution of her paramour is infected, which soon or late brings on death. Her steps take hold on hell. ] First, the death of the body; and then the damnation of the soul. These are the tendencies of connections with such women.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. Her feet go down to death , etc.] The ways in which she walks, and in which she leads others, issue oftentimes in corporeal death; and always in eternal death, if grace prevent not; and unless men are brought to a sense of sin, to repent of it and leave it. The Septuagint and Arabic versions render it, “the feet of imprudence” or “folly”, in opposition to wisdom; that is, the feet of the foolish woman, such an one the harlot is; and such is the whore of Rome, notwithstanding all her boasted knowledge and wisdom.
And into perdition, or the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death, she goes herself, and hither she brings all that follow her idolatrous practices, ( Revelation 17:8 19:20 21:8); her steps take hold on hell ; make sure of it; hell is the certain portion of the harlot, and of all those that follow her lewd courses, unless reclaimed by the grace of God; and this will be the case of the worshippers of antichrist, or who give into the idolatries of the church of Rome, or commit fornication with her, ( Revelation 14:9-11). Or, “her steps support hell” f104 ; keep it up, and fill it with inhabitants; millions are carried into it by her means: or, reach unto hell; she stops not till she comes there, and her followers with her. The word may be rendered “the grave”, and may respect such whores who haunted burying places, and prostituted themselves among the graves; and were called from hence “bustuariae moechae” f105 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-14 - Solomon cautions all young men, as his children, to abstain from fleshly lusts. Some, by the adulterous woman, here understand idolatry false doctrine, which tends to lead astray men's minds and manners; but the direct view is to warn against seventh-commandment sins. Ofte these have been, and still are, Satan's method of drawing men from the worship of God into false religion. Consider how fatal the consequences; how bitter the fruit! Take it any way, it wounds. I leads to the torments of hell. The direct tendency of this sin is to the destruction of body and soul. We must carefully avoid every thin which may be a step towards it. Those who would be kept from harm, mus keep out of harm's way. If we thrust ourselves into temptation we moc God when we pray, Lead us not into temptation. How many mischief attend this sin! It blasts the reputation; it wastes time; it ruins the estate; it is destructive to health; it will fill the mind with horror Though thou art merry now, yet sooner or later it will bring sorrow The convinced sinner reproaches himself, and makes no excuse for his folly. By the frequent acts of sin, the habits of it become rooted an confirmed. By a miracle of mercy true repentance may prevent the dreadful consequences of such sins; but this is not often; far more di as they have lived. What can express the case of the self-ruined sinne in the eternal world, enduring the remorse of his conscience!
