Proverbs 5:6 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them. Lest thou shouldest ponder - To prevent thee from reflecting on thy present conduct, and its consequences, her ways are moveable - she continually varies her allurements.

Thou canst not know them - It is impossible to conceive all her tricks and wiles: to learn these in all their varieties, is a part of the science first taught in that infernal trade.
