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.

A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. Two other things more immediate await the adulterer personal chastisement and loss of reputation. It seems clear that "a wound" (Hebrew, negav , "a stroke" or "blow"), used here in the singular, collectively refers to the corporal punishment, which the outraged husband will inflict upon the adulterer (Delitzsch, Zockler. Lapide). (For the word, see Deu_17:8 Deu_21:5) It may also have reference to the punishment inflicted by the Law. In the LXX the idea is expressed by odunav , i.e. "pains," and so gives colour to Lapide"s explanation of "afflictions of every kind" The Vulgate gives a moral turn to the meaning, and coordinates the word with "dishonour:" Turpitudinem et ignominiam congregat sibi, Dishonour is the ignominious treatment he will receive on all hands." The second part of the verse states that a brand of disgrace will be attached to his name which will be perpetual, not confined to this life only, but extending beyond it, so that men will never recall it but with this stigma (Patrick, Mercerus). On shall be ... wiped away (Hebrew, timmakeh, the niph. future of makhah, "to wipe off, or away," and in hiph. "to be blotted out," equivalent to the Latin delere), see Deu_25:6 Eze_6:6 Jud_1:21:17. The LXX renders exaleifyhsetai , and adds, eiv to , "forever." The statements of the verse are illustrated by Horace, "Satires," lib. 1:2, 37, who describes the dangers and mishaps which befall the adulterer and fornicator. "Hic se praecipitem tecto dedit; ille flagellis Ad mortem caesus: fugiens hic decidit acrem Praedonum in turbam: dedit hic pro corpore nnmmos.
