Contextual Overview

10 When wisdome entreth into thine heart, and thy soule deliteth in knowledge: 11 Then shall counsayle preserue thee, and vnderstandyng shall kepe thee, 12 That thou mayest be deliuered from the euyll way, and from the man that speaketh frowarde thynges: 13 From such as leaue the wayes of righteousnesse, to walke in the wayes of darknesse: 14 Which reioyce in doyng naught, and delite in the wickednesse of the euyll: 15 Whose wayes are croked, and they frowarde in their pathes. 16 That thou mayest be deliuered also from the straunge woman, and from her that is not thine owne, which geueth sweete wordes, 17 Forsaketh the husbande of her youth, & forgetteth the couenaunt of her God. 18 For her house is enclined vnto death, and her pathes vnto hell. 19 All they that go in vnto her, come not agayne, neither take they holde of the way of lyfe.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

None that go unto her return again,.... That is, those that commit whoredom with her return not again by repentance, and to a sober and chaste way of living, at least but very few; hence some of the ancients thought adultery was the unpardonable sin; but it is certain that some have been recovered by the power of divine grace, and have been brought to repentance for their impure manner of life, and have truly believed in Christ, and lived sober and godly lives afterwards; but, as the Targum adds, they do not return "in peace", but with great distress of mind, remorse of conscience, and bitterness of soul; and these instances are rare; generally speaking, such as are ensnared by an adulterous woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are as bands, are held so fast by her that they seldom get out again, though some few may escape, Ecclesiastes 7:26. The words may be rendered, "all that go into her z shall not return again"; no, very few of them. And it is a very rare thing, when men are fallen into idolatry, superstition, will worship, and heresy, that they are recovered out of this snare of the devil; there is a peradventure they may, but it is not often that they be loosed from it, 2 Timothy 2:25;

neither take they hold of the paths of life; Christ, and the ways of Christ, which lead to eternal life; few there be that find these paths and walk in them, Matthew 7:14; and especially such as are drawn aside by an impure woman, they are held so fast by her alluring charms, and so bewildered by her art of deceiving, that they are like persons that are led out of their way, and cannot find it again.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The words describe more than the fatal persistency of the sinful habit when once formed. A resurrection from that world of the dead to “the paths of life” is all but impossible.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 2:19. None that go unto her return again — There are very few instances of prostitutes ever returning to the paths of sobriety and truth; perhaps not one of such as become prostitutes through a natural propensity to debauchery. Among those who have been deceived, debauched, and abandoned, many have been reclaimed; and to such alone penitentiaries may be useful; to the others they may only be incentives to farther sinning. Rakes and debauchees are sometimes converted: but most of them never lay hold on the path of life; they have had their health destroyed, and never recover it. The original, חיים chaiyim, means lives; not only the health of the body is destroyed, but the soul is ruined. Thus the unhappy man may be said to be doubly slain.
