14 who plots evil with deceit in his heart- he always stirs up conflict.
14 with perverted heart devises evil, continually sowing discord;
14 Their perverse minds are always cooking up something nasty, always stirring up trouble.
14 Perversity is in his heart, He devises evil continually, He sows discord.
14 Their perverted hearts plot evil, and they constantly stir up trouble.
31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.
31 From the mouth of the righteous comes the fruit of wisdom, but a perverse tongue will be silenced.
31 The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
31 A good person's mouth is a clear fountain of wisdom; a foul mouth is a stagnant swamp.
31 The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, But the perverse tongue will be cut out.
31 The mouth of the godly person gives wise advice, but the tongue that deceives will be cut off.
(Read Proverbs 10:31-32)
A good man discourses wisely for the benefit of others. But it is the sin, and will be the ruin of a wicked man, that he speaks what is displeasing to God, and provoking to those he converses with. The righteous is kept by the power of God; and nothing shall be able to separate him from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 6:14
Commentary on Proverbs 6:12-19
(Read Proverbs 6:12-19)
If the slothful are to be condemned, who do nothing, much more those that do all the ill they can. Observe how such a man is described. He says and does every thing artfully, and with design. His ruin shall come without warning, and without relief. Here is a list of things hateful to God. Those sins are in a special manner provoking to God, which are hurtful to the comfort of human life. These things which God hates, we must hate in ourselves; it is nothing to hate them in others. Let us shun all such practices, and watch and pray against them; and avoid, with marked disapproval, all who are guilty of them, whatever may be their rank.
