Proverbs 5:6 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Lest thou shouldest ponder... — The meaning of the English version appears to be, “To prevent thy choosing the path of life, she leads thee by devious paths that thou knowest not where thou art.” It may also be rendered, “Far from smoothing for herself the path of life, her steps wander without her observing it.” By these words is described the reckless career of a vicious woman, who at last dares not think whither her steps are leading her, but as it were with eyes shut, totters on till she falls to rise no more.

Proverbs 5:6

6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
