Proverbs2:19

19. None that go unto her , return again , neither take they hold of the paths of life .

Few or none. An hyperbolical expression used, Isa. 64. 7.

That go to her House, or that lie with her, as this Phrase is used, Gen. 16. 4. & 30. 4. Ios. 2. 3.

From her and from this wickedness unto God. Adulterers and Whoremongers are very rarely brought to repentance, but are generally hardned by the power and deceitfulness of that Lust, and by God's just judgment, peculiarly inflicted upon such Persons, Heb. 13. 4. He alludes to the nature of corporal death, from which no man can without a Miracle return to this life.

Of those courses which lead to true and eternal Life.
