SUMMARY Chapter 5 of Proverbs is an exhortation

SUMMARY • Chapter 5 of Proverbs is an exhortation to attend to wisdom and understanding, Proverbs 5: 1; one part of which lies in shunning an adulterous woman; who is described by her flattery, with which she deceives; by the end she brings men to, which is destruction and death; and by the uncertainty of her ways, which cannot be known, Proverbs 5: 3. Wherefore men are advised to keep at the utmost distance from her, Proverbs 5: 7; lest their honour, strength, wealth, and labours, be given to others, Proverbs 5: 9; and repentance and mourning follow, when too late, Proverbs 5: 11. And, as a remedy against whoredom, entering into a marriage state is advised to, and a strict regard to that; allegorically expressed by a man's drinking water out of his fountain, and by his wife being as a loving hind and pleasant roe to him, the single object of his affections, Proverbs 5: 15. As also the consideration of the divine omniscience is proposed, to deter him from the sin of adultery, Proverbs 5: 20; as well as the inevitable ruin wicked men are brought into by it, Proverbs 5: 22.
