Contextual Overview
20My son, be guided by your father's [God-given] commandment (instruction) And do not reject the teaching of your mother; 21Bind them continually upon your heart (in your thoughts), And tie them around your neck. 22When you walk about, they (the godly teachings of your parents) will guide you; When you sleep, they will keep watch over you; And when you awake, they will talk to you. 23For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching [of the law] is light, And reproofs (rebukes) for discipline are the way of life, 24To keep you from the evil woman, From [the flattery of] the smooth tongue of an immoral woman. 25Do not desire (lust after) her beauty in your heart, Nor let her capture you with her eyelashes. 26For on account of a prostitute one is reduced to a piece of bread [to be eaten up], And the immoral woman hunts [with a hook] the precious life [of a man]. 27Can a man take fire to his chest And his clothes not be burned? 28Or can a man walk on hot coals And his feet not be scorched? 29So is the one who goes in to his neighbor's wife; Whoever touches her will not be found innocent or go unpunished.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For jealousy [is] the rage of a man,.... Fills a man with rage against him of whom he is jealous; which keeps boiling within him, till he has an opportunity of venting it: and very severe it is; it is strong as death, and cruel as the grave;
therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance; when he has an opportunity of avenging himself; whenever he finds the adulterer in his house, or catches him and his wife in bed together, he spares not to take away his life, and sometimes the life of both of them; instances of this nature history furnishes us with: or he will spare no cost and pains to prosecute him before a civil magistrate, and bring him to public justice; prayers and entreaties, bribes and gifts, wilt be of no avail, as follows.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 34. Jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare — He will not, when he has detected the adulterer in the fact, wait for the slow progress of the law: it is then to him the day of vengeance; and in general, he avenges himself on the spot, as we see above.
