Proverbs 23:33 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. Thine eyes shall behold strange women - Evil concupiscence is inseparable from drunkenness. Mr. Herbert shows these effects well: -

He that is drunken may his mother kill,Big with his sister: he hath lost the reins;

Is outlawed by himself. All kinds of illDid, with his liquor, slide into his veins.

The drunkard forfeits man; and doth divestAll worldly right, save what he hath by beast.
