Proverbs 6:35 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts. He will not regard any ransom - i:e., any sum, however large, paid in expiation of thy adultery (Exodus 21:30).

Neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts - to bribe the husband not to prosecute the adulterer, or the judges not to exact full punishment for the adultery. So the Hebrew for "gifts" х shochad (H7810)] is used (Deuteronomy 16:19; Deuteronomy 27:25; Psalms 15:5).
