Contextual Overview

²⁰ My sonne, kepe thy fathers commaundement, and forsake not the lawe of thy mother: ²¹ Tye them continually in thyne heart, and bynde them about thy necke. ²² That shall leade thee when thou goest, preserue thee when thou art asleepe, and when thou awakest talke with thee. ²³ For the commaundement is a lanterne, and the lawe a light: yea chastening and nurture is the way of life: ²⁴ That they may kepe thee from the euyll woman, and from the flattering tongue of the straunge woman. ²⁵ Lust not after her beautie in thyne heart, lest thou be taken with her fayre lokes. ²⁶ By an harlot [a man is brought] to beg his bread, and a woman wyll hunte for the pretious life of man. ²⁷ May a man take fire in his bosome, and his clothes not be brent? ²⁸ Or can one go vpon hotte coales, and his feete not be brent? ²⁹ Euen so, whosoeuer goeth in to his neyghbours wife and toucheth her, can not be vngiltie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Lust not after her beauty in thine heart,.... Do not look upon it with the eye, nor dwell upon it in the thought; the one will lead on to and kindle last in the heart, and the other will cherish it and blow it up into a flame; and lust thus conceived and nourished in the heart is no other than committing adultery, Matthew 5:28;

neither let her take thee with her eyelids; let her not take thee from instruction with them, so Aben Ezra, from attending to that; or let her not take thy wisdom from thee, so Jarchi; or rather let her not take thee as in a net, with the sparkling of her eyes, with the wanton and amorous glances of them; so the Syriac version, "let her not captivate thee", &c. which applied to the antichristian church, may signify the outward pomp and grandeur of it, its pretensions to antiquity, to the apostolic see, to infallibility, miracles, great devotion, &c. which are taking to men, and are the Circean cup with which she bewitches and allures, Revelation 17:4. The Targum is,

"let her not seduce thee,'' &c.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Eyelids - Possibly pointing to the Eastern custom of painting the eyes on the outside with kohl so as to give brightness and languishing expression.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 6:25. Neither let her take thee with her eye-lids. — It is a very general custom in the East to paint the eye-lids. I have many Asiatic drawings in which this is expressed. They have a method of polishing the eyes with a preparation of antimony, so that they appear with an indescribable lustre; or, as one who mentions the fact from observation, "Their eyes appear to be swimming in bliss."
