Proverbs 6:32 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

(But) whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding - literally, heart.

He (that) doeth it destroyeth his own soul - rather, as the collocation of the Hebrew requires, and as the Chaldaic translates, 'The destroyer of (whosoever would destroy) his own soul, he (emphatic) doeth it'-such an act. 'If thou desirest safety, my son, do not thou such an act; let those do it who rush on their own perdition' (Junius).

Proverbs 6:32

32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding:e he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
