Clarke: Pro 6:32 - But whoso committeth adultery

But whoso committeth adultery - The case understood is that of a married man: he has a wife; and therefore is not in the circumstances of the poor thief, who stole to appease his hunger, having nothing to eat.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Pro 6:32 - Lacketh understanding // Destroyeth his own soul

Lacketh understanding is a brutish and silly man, who madly rusheth upon these filthy courses, without any sense or consideration of the horrid shame and certain destruction which attends upon them.

Destroyeth his own soul or life ; is guilty of self-murder and of soul-murder.

Haydock: Pro 6:32 - Folly

Folly. Literally, "want," inopiam. Hebrew, "is faint-hearted, corrupting his own soul, he will do that." (Haydock)

Gill: Pro 6:32 - But whoso committeth adultery with a woman // lacketh understanding // he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul

But whoso committeth adultery with a woman,.... Which is a greater degree of theft than the former, it being the stealing of another man's wife;

lacketh understanding; or "an heart" ^t; the thief lacks bread, and therefore steals, but this man lacks wisdom, and therefore acts so foolish a part; the one does it to satisfy hunger, the other a brutish lust;

he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul; is liable to have his life taken away by the husband of the adulteress; so according to Solon's law ^u the adulterer taken in the act might be killed by the husband: or by the civil magistrate; for according to the law of. Moses he was to die, either to be strangled or stoned; see Gill on Joh 8:5; and besides, he not only ruins the natural faculties of his soul, besotting, corrupting, and depraving that, giving his heart to a whore, but brings eternal destruction on it; yet so foolish is he, though it issues in the ruin of his precious soul; "he does this" ^w, for so the first part of this clause, which stands last in the original text, may be rendered.
