Contextual Overview
20 Obey the teaching of your parents— 21 always keep it in mind and never forget it. 22 Their teaching will guide you when you walk, protect you when you sleep, and talk to you when you are awake. 23 The Law of the Lord is a lamp, and its teachings shine brightly. Correction and self-control will lead you through life. 24 They will protect you from the flattering words of someone else's wife. 25 Don't let yourself be attracted by the charm and lovely eyes of someone like that. 26 A woman who sells her love can be bought for as little as the price of a meal. But making love to another man's wife will cost you everything. 27 If you carry burning coals, you burn your clothes; 28 if you step on hot coals, you burn your feet. 29 And if you go to bed with another man's wife, you pay the price.

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.
