Commentary on Proverbs 6:35

  • Matthew Henry (Presbyterian), Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on Proverbs 6:20-35: Here is, I. A general exhortation faithfully to adhere to the word of God and to take it for our guide in all our actions. 1. We must look upon the word of God both as a light (Pro 6:23) and as a law, Pro 6:20, Pro 6:23.
  • Keil & Delitzsch (Lutheran), Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament on Proverbs 6:34-35: Pro 6:34-35 One who has been stolen from is to be appeased, but not the injured husband. 34 For jealousy is the fury of a husband, And he spareth not in the day of vengeance. 35 He regardeth not any ransom, And is not contented though thou offerest to him gifts ever so great. The connection marks קנאה as the subject; for it respects carnal intercourse with another’s wife.
