Teks -- Proverbs 6:33-35 (NET)

6:33 He will be beaten and despised, and his reproach will not be wiped away; 6:34 for jealousy kindles a husband’s rage, and he will not show mercy when he takes revenge. 6:35 He will not consider any compensation; he will not be willing, even if you multiply the compensation.

Clarke: Pro 6:33 - A wound and dishonor shall he get

A wound and dishonor shall he get - Among the Romans, when a man was caught in the fact, the injured husband took the law into his own hand; and a large radish was thrust up into the anus of the transgressor, which not only overwhelmed him with infamy and disgrace, but generally caused his death.

Clarke: Pro 6:34 - Jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare

Jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare - He will not, when he has detected the adulterer in the fact, wait for the slow progress of the law: it is then to him the day of vengeance; and in general, he avenges himself on the spot, as we see above.

Clarke: Pro 6:35 - He will not regard any ransom

He will not regard any ransom - This is an injury that admits of no compensation. No gifts can satisfy a man for the injury his honor has sustained; and to take a bribe or a ransom, would be setting up chastity at a price.

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

Poole: Pro 6:33 - A wound // His reproach shall not be wiped away

A wound civil or corporal punishment from the magistrate, or rather from the woman’ s husband, as it follows.

His reproach shall not be wiped away although it be forgiven by God, yet the reproach and scandal of it remains.

Poole: Pro 6:34 - Is the rage of a man // In the day of vengeance

Is the rage of a man it inflames a man with rage and fury against the adulterer.

In the day of vengeance when he hath an opportunity to avenge himself upon the delinquent.

Poole: Pro 6:35

He will accept of no other recompence for the injury beneath thy life.

Haydock: Pro 6:35 - Gifts

Gifts. "A husband would rather hear that his wife had been slain, than that she had been defiled." (St. Jerome in Amos vi.)

Gill: Pro 6:33 - A wound and dishonour shall he get // and his reproach shall not be wiped away

A wound and dishonour shall he get,.... A wound, stroke, or blow, either from the husband of the strumpet, as was often the case ^x in later times; or from the civil magistrate, being ordered by him to be beaten ^y or stoned; or from God himself inflicting diseases on him; see Gen 12:17; where the same word is used as here: and "dishonour" from men; for though they do not despise a thief in circumstances before related, yet they will despise an adulterer, and speak reproachfully of him, whenever they have occasion to make mention of him;

and his reproach shall not be wiped away; as long as he lives, though his life may be spared; yea, it shall even continue after death; and though he may repent of his sin and reform, as in the case of David.

Gill: Pro 6:34 - For jealousy is the rage of a man // therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance

For jealousy is the rage of a man,.... Fills a man with rage against him of whom he is jealous; which keeps boiling within him, till he has an opportunity of venting it: and very severe it is; it is strong as death, and cruel as the grave;

therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance; when he has an opportunity of avenging himself; whenever he finds the adulterer in his house, or catches him and his wife in bed together, he spares not to take away his life, and sometimes the life of both of them; instances of this nature history furnishes us with: or he will spare no cost and pains to prosecute him before a civil magistrate, and bring him to public justice; prayers and entreaties, bribes and gifts, wilt be of no avail, as follows.

Gill: Pro 6:35 - He will not regard any ransom // neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts

He will not regard any ransom,.... So that his case is much worse than, a thief's; if he is taken, he makes restitution according to law, and he is freed, and no more is said and done to him; and, at most, it is but parting with all the goods in his house; but in this case it will not do. In the Hebrew text it is, "he will not accept the face of any ransom" ^z; that is, as the Targum paraphrases it,

"he will not accept the face of anyone that gives a gift:''

he will have no respect unto him for the sake of the gift; whatever gift is offered, be it what it will, for the ransom of his life from death, it will be disregarded;

neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts; increase them, and keep continually giving; nothing but the life of the adulterer will satisfy him, which he will either take away himself, or obtain it in a way of legal prosecution. How foolish therefore is the man that will expose his name and credit, his health and substance, his life in this world, and his soul in another, to utter ruin, for the sake of gratifying a sordid lust! This may be interpreted of God, who is a jealous God in matters of worship, and will not suffer idolatry to go unpunished, which is spiritual adultery.
