SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:27

¿Tomará el hombre fuego en su seno, sin que sus vestidos se quemen?

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:27

Verse 27. Can a man take fire ] These were proverbial expressions, the meaning of which was plain to every capacity.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 27. Can a man take fire in his
bosom , etc.] A whore is compared to fire, and is so called by the poets f158 ; and it is a saying of Pythagoras, “it is a like thing to fall into fire and into a woman f159 ;” the Hebrew words ça , “esh”, “fire”, and hçya , “ishah”, “a woman”, have some affinity in sound; and the phrase of taking it “into the bosom” fitly expresses the impure embraces of a harlot; and his clothes not be burned ? he cannot, it is impossible; and equally vain is it to think that a man can commit whoredom and it not be known, or he not hurt by it in his name and substance, or in his body, soul, and life.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 20-35 - The word of
God has something to say to us upon all occasions. Let no faithful reproofs ever make us uneasy. When we consider how much thi sin abounds, how heinous adultery is in its own nature, of what evi consequence it is, and how certainly it destroys the spiritual life in the soul, we shall not wonder that the cautions against it are so ofte repeated. Let us notice the subjects of this chapter. Let us remembe Him who willingly became our Surety, when we were strangers an enemies. And shall Christians, who have such prospects, motives, an examples, be slothful and careless? Shall we neglect what is pleasin to God, and what he will graciously reward? May we closely watch ever sense by which poison can enter our minds or affections __________________________________________________________________
