Contextual Overview
20 Mi sone, kepe the comaundementis of thi fadir; and forsake not the lawe of thi modir. 21 Bynde thou tho continueli in thin herte; and cumpasse `to thi throte. 22 Whanne thou goist, go tho with thee; whanne thou slepist, kepe tho thee; and thou wakynge speke with tho. 23 For the comaundement of God is a lanterne, and the lawe is liyt, and the blamyng of techyng is the weie of lijf; 24 `that the comaundementis kepe thee fro an yuel womman, and fro a flaterynge tunge of a straunge womman. 25 Thin herte coueite not the fairnesse of hir; nether be thou takun bi the signes of hir. 26 For the prijs of an hoore is vnnethe of o loof; but a womman takith the preciouse soule of a man. 27 Whether a man mai hide fier in his bosum, that hise clothis brenne not; 28 ethir go on colis, and hise feet be not brent? 29 So he that entrith to the wijf of his neiybore; schal not be cleene, whanne he hath touchid hir.

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.
