29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
29 So is he who sleeps with another man's wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.
29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; none who touches her will go unpunished.
29 It's the same when you have sex with your neighbor's wife: Touch her and you'll pay for it. No excuses.
29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; Whoever touches her shall not be innocent.
29 So it is with the man who sleeps with another man's wife. He who embraces her will not go unpunished.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 6:29
Commentary on Proverbs 6:20-35
(Read Proverbs 6:20-35)
The word of God has something to say to us upon all occasions. Let not faithful reproofs ever make us uneasy. When we consider how much this sin abounds, how heinous adultery is in its own nature, of what evil 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 often repeated. Let us notice the subjects of this chapter. Let us remember Him who willingly became our Surety, when we were strangers and enemies. And shall Christians, who have such prospects, motives, and examples, be slothful and careless? Shall we neglect what is pleasing to God, and what he will graciously reward? May we closely watch every sense by which poison can enter our minds or affections.
