Proverbs 1:10 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

Ver. 10. If sinners entice thee.] To an ill bargain; to a match of mischief, as Ahab did Jehoshaphat, as Potiphar's wife would have done Joseph; and truly, that he yielded not, was no less a wonder, than that those three worthies burnt not in the midst of the fiery furnace. But as the sunshine puts out fire, so did the fear of God the fire of lust.

Consent thou not.] But carry a severe rebuke in thy counteuance, as God doth. Psa 80:16 To rebuke them is the ready way to be rid of them.
