Proverbs 2:19 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

None; few or none; an hyperbolical expression, used Isaiah 64:7. That go unto her; that go to her house, or that lie with her, as this phrase is used, Genesis 16:4, Genesis 30:4 Joshua 2:13. Return again, from her and from this wickedness, unto God. Adulterers and whoremongers are very rarely brought to repentance, but are generally hardened by the power and deceitfulness of that lust, and by God's just judgment, peculiarly inflicted upon such persons, Hebrews 13:4. He alludes to the nature of corporal death, from which no man can without a miracle return to this life. Of the paths of life; of those courses which lead to true and eternal life.

Proverbs 2:19

19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
