Proverbs 5:6 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life— Houbigant renders this, She is far from following the way of life: her steps wander whither she herself knoweth not: which is very like the Chaldee. The design of the wise man seems to be, to point out the inconstancy, irregularity, and wickedness, of the strange woman's life. Her ways are inconstant; she is not attached to her husband, or to any one man, but abandons herself to the first comer; has neither knowledge, wisdom, nor discernment; she has no other rule than her passion, no other end than her pleasure. She is profligate, and wholly lost, says Schultens; affected neither by the fear of God, nor the care of her own salvation. See ch. Proverbs 2:18-19.

Proverbs 5:6

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