Proverbs 21:6 - John Wesley's Notes

Proverbs 21:6

Compare all

4 ^aA haughty look, a proud heart,
And the¹ plowing of the wicked are sin.

5 ^aThe plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty,
But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.

6 ^aGetting treasures by a lying tongue
¹Is the fleeting fantasy of those who seek death.

7 The violence of the wicked will¹ destroy them,
Because they refuse to do justice.

8 The way of¹ a guilty man is perverse;
But as for the pure, his work is right.

Lying tongue - By any false or deceitful words or actions. Is tossed - Is like the chaff or smoak driven away by the wind. Of them - That take those courses which will bring destruction upon them.
