“Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.”
Proverbs 6:25 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 6:25
Don't lust after her beauty in your heart, nor let her capture you with her eyelids. The Hebrew 'chamad' (desire/covet) and 'laqach' (take/capture) warn against both internal desire and external seduction. Lust begins in the heart before manifesting in action. Jesus later intensifies this: 'Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart' (Matthew 5:28). Heart-guarding precedes behavioral purity.
