Commentary on Proverbs 6:29
Can one walk on hot coals without scorching his feet? Again, rhetorical question expecting negative answer. Walking on coals guarantees burning. Likewise, approaching adultery guarantees harm. The Hebrew 'gechaliym' (hot coals) and 'kavah' (scorch/burn) emphasize certain injury. These sequential questions (v.27-29) hammer home the point: sexual sin's consequences are inevitable, not possible to avoid while persisting in sin.
