20 E por que, filho meu, andarias atraído pela mulher licenciosa, e abraÇarias o seio da adúltera?

Provérbios 5:20 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 5:20

And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman,
&c.] Or "err with her" F25; after all those inconveniences and miseries that follow upon a conversation with a harlot, and all those advantages of a marriage state set before thee; why wilt thou be, so foolish and mad as to have a fondness for an harlot and dote upon her, and neglect entering into a marriage state, or forsake the wife of youth? and yet though things are so clearly stated and aptly represented, and the expostulation made in the most tender and affectionate manner; it is suggested as if after all it would not be attended unto, but a harlot be preferred to a wife of youth, a filthy beast to a loving hind, and dirty puddles of water in a ditch to running streams from a well or fountain; and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
that is not thy wife; a description of unlawful love and impure embraces, which are dissuaded from.

Provérbios 5:20 In-Context

18 Seja bendito o teu manancial; e regozija-te na mulher da tua mocidade.
19 Como corça amorosa, e graciosa cabra montesa saciem-te os seus seios em todo o tempo; e pelo seu amor sê encantado perpetuamente.
20 E por que, filho meu, andarias atraído pela mulher licenciosa, e abraÇarias o seio da adúltera?
21 Porque os caminhos do homem estão diante dos olhos do Senhor, o qual observa todas as suas veredas.
22 Quanto ao ímpio, as suas próprias iniqüidades o prenderão, e pelas cordas do seu pecado será detido.
