Others render, thou wilt put<\/em> (R.V. marg.) and understand it to mean, that death may be the penalty of indulgence.<\/p>\n i. e., Restrain thy appetite, eat as if the knife were at thy throat. Others render the words thou wilt put a knife to thy throat etc., i. e., indulgence at such a time may endanger thy very life.<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 2<\/span>. Put a knife to thy throat<\/B><\/I>] Repress thy appetite, and do not be incontinent of speech. Eat, drink, and converse, under a check<\/I>.<\/P> <\/p>\n Put a knife to thy throat; <\/B>restrain and moderate thine appetite, as if a knife or some other thing stuck in thy throat, and hindered thee from swallowing what thou didst desire; or as if a man stood with a knife at thy throat ready to kill thee, if thou didst transgress; or though it be as irksome to thee to do so as if thou hadst a knife put to thy throat. So this is to be understood metaphorically, as that phrase of <\/P> cutting off the right hand, <\/B>& c., Mat 5:29<\/span>,30<\/span>. Or, For thou dost<\/I> (or, lest thou shouldst<\/I>, as the Syriac interpreter renders it; or, otherwise thou wilt or shouldst) put a knife to thy throat. So the sense is, When thou goest to their feasts, thou dost expose thyself to great and manifest hazards, to thy own intemperance, and to all its dangerous consequences, and to the ill effects of other mens intemperance. <\/P> Given to appetite; <\/B>prone to excess in eating and drinking. <\/P> <\/p>\n 2. put a knife<\/B>an Easternfigure for putting restraint on the appetite.<\/P><\/p>\n And put a knife to thy throat<\/strong>,…. Refrain from too much talk at the table; give not too loose to thy tongue, but bridle it, considering in whose presence thou art; do not use too much freedom, either with the ruler or fellow guests; which, when persons have ate and drank well, they are too apt to do, and sometimes say things offensive to one or the other; it is good for a man to be upon his guard; see Ec 5:2<\/span>. Or restrain thine appetite; deny thyself of some things agreeable, that would lead thee to what might be hurtful, at least if indulged to excess: put as it were a knife unto thine appetite, and mortify it; which is the same as cutting off a right hand, or plucking out a right eye Mt 5:29<\/span>. Or while thou art at such a table, at such a sumptuous entertainment, consider thyself as in danger, as if thou hadst a knife at thy throat; and shouldest thou be too free with the food or liquor, it would be as it were cutting thine own throat;<\/p>\n if thou [be] a man given to appetite<\/strong>; there is then the more danger; and therefore such a person should be doubly on his guard, since he is in the way of temptation to that he is naturally inclined to. Or, “if thou art master of appetite” r: so the Targum,<\/p>\n “if thou art master of thy soul;”<\/p>\n if thou hast power over it, and the command of it, and canst restrain it with ease; to which agrees the Vulgate Latin version: but the former sense is more agreeable to the Hebrew idiom.<\/p>\n r “dominus animae”, Vatablus, Mercerus, Michaelis.<\/p>\n (2) And put a knife to thy throat.<\/strong>Use the strongest methods to keep thine appetite in check, if thou art likely to give way to it, and then, overcome by meat and drink, to say or do anything to offend thy host.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n v. 2. and put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite,<\/strong> keeping the usual gluttonous appetite in leash by the strongest warnings and threats, restraining the least sign of self-indulgence. <\/p>\n Pro 23:2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou [be] a man given to appetite.<\/p>\n Ver. 2. And put a knife to thy throat.<\/strong> ] Put into thy throat, as Aben Ezra reads it, rather than offend by inordinate appetite. Some read it thus: For thou puttest a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. Thou shortenest thy life, and diggest, as it were, thine own grave with thine own teeth. Meat kills as many as the musket; the board as the sword. Tenuis mensa sanitatis mater:<\/em> a<\/em> but much meat, much malady. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> Chrysost.<\/p>\n And put = Then thou wilt put. <\/p>\n a man given, &c.
