Proverbs 6:16 - Robertson's Book Notes (NT)

Proverbs 6:16

14 Perversity is in his heart,
^aHe devises evil continually,
^bHe sows discord.

15 Therefore his calamity shall come ^asuddenly;
Suddenly he shall ^bbe broken ^cwithout remedy.

16 These six things the Lord hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to¹ Him:

17 ^a¹A proud look,
^bA lying tongue,
^cHands that shed innocent blood,

18 ^aA heart that devises wicked plans,
^bFeet that are swift in running to evil,

19 ^aA false witness who speaks lies,
And one who ^bsows discord among brethren.

20 ^aMy son, keep your father’s command,
And do not forsake the law of your mother.

21 ^aBind them continually upon your heart;
Tie them around your neck.

22 ^aWhen you roam,¹ they will lead you;
When you sleep, ^bthey will keep you;
And when you awake, they will speak with you.

23 ^aFor the commandment is a lamp,
And the law a light;
Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,

24 ^aTo keep you from the evil woman,
From the flattering tongue of a seductress.
