Contextual Overview

¹⁵ Drinke of the water of thyne owne well, and of the riuers that runne out of thyne owne spring. ¹⁶ Let thy welles flowe out abrode, that there may be riuers of waters in the streates: ¹⁷ But let them be onlye thyne owne, and not straungers with thee. ¹⁸ Let thy well be blessed, and be glad with the wyfe of thy youth. ¹⁹ Let her be as the louyng Hinde and pleasaunt Roe: let her breastes alway satisfie thee, and holde thee euer content with her loue. ²⁰ Why wylt thou my sonne haue pleasure in a straunge woman, and embrace the bosome of a straunger? ²¹ For euery mans wayes are open in the sight of the Lord, and he pondereth all their goynges. ²² The wickednes of the vngodly shall catche him selfe, and with the snares of his owne sinne shall he be trapped. ²³ He shall dye without amendement, and for his great foolishnes he shall go astray.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For the ways of a man [are] before the eyes of the Lord,.... Both good and bad; the ways of a chaste and virtuous man, who cleaves to his own wife and shuns the harlot, which are approved of by the Lord; and the ways of a lewd man, all the impure thoughts, desires, and contrivances of his mind, and all the steps he takes to commit lewdness, and all the filthy actions he is guilty of, these are all open and naked to the omniscient God: the adulterer seeks the twilight, and flatters himself with secrecy, not considering that the eye of God is upon him; there are many, that, were their filthy actions known to men, they would be ashamed of them; and this consideration greatly deters from them, and puts them upon secret ways of committing them; much more should the consideration of the divine omniscience weigh with them to avoid them; which is the argument here made use of;

and he pondereth all his goings; he not only sees them, but takes notice of them, and observes them, and ponders them in his mind, and lays them up there, in order to bring to an account for them hereafter; yea, he weighs them in the balance of justice, and will proportion the punishment unto them, according to the rules of it; when it must go ill with those that follow such lewd practices, Hebrews 13:4.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

One more warning. The sin is not against man, nor dependent on man’s detection only. The secret sin is open before the eyes of Yahweh. In the balance of His righteous judgment are weighed all human acts.

Pondereth - Note the recurrence of the word used of the harlot herself (see Proverbs 1:6 note): she ponders not, God does.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 5:21. For the ways of a man — Whether they are public or private, God sees all the steps thou takest in life.
