Proverbs 6:28 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 6:28
Can a man take fire into his bosom without burning his clothes? The rhetorical question expects negative answer: impossible. Fire inevitably burns what it contacts. Similarly, sexual sin inevitably produces destructive consequences. The Hebrew 'esh' (fire) and 'sarap' (burn) create vivid imagery. Playing with sexual temptation while expecting to avoid consequences is as foolish as embracing fire while expecting not to burn.
