21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings.
21 For your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths.
21 For a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he ponders
21 Mark well that God doesn't miss a move you make; he's aware of every step you take.
21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, And He ponders all his paths.
21 For the Lord sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 5:21
Commentary on Proverbs 5:15-23
(Read Proverbs 5:15-23)
Lawful marriage is a means God has appointed to keep from these destructive vices. But we are not properly united, except as we attend to God's word, seeking his direction and blessing, and acting with affection. Ever remember, that though secret sins may escape the eyes 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 so foolish as to choose the way of sin, are justly left of God to themselves, to go on in the way to destruction.
