Context of Proverbs 6:33
31But when he is found, he must repay seven times [what he stole]; He must give all the property of his house [if necessary to meet his fine]. 32But whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks common sense and sound judgment and an understanding [of moral principles]; He who would destroy his soul does it. Wounds and disgrace he will find, And his reproach (blame) will not be blotted out. 34For jealousy enrages the [wronged] husband; He will not spare [the guilty one] on the day of vengeance. 35He will not accept any ransom [offered to buy him off from demanding full punishment]; Nor will he be satisfied though you offer him many gifts (bribes).

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 20-35Verses 20-35 The word of God has something to say to us upon all occasions. Let not faithful reproofs ever make us uneasy.
