Commentary on Proverbs 5:9
Theological / DevotionalUnto the cruel. Some have thought that this refers to being sold into slavery by a wronged husband, but such was not the penalty for adultery (Deut. 22:22; John 8:5). To lose the prime of life to a coarsening and defiling enslavement of sin is a greater punishment than physical slavery could be.
