Commentary on Proverbs 11:20

Theological / Devotional

A froward heart. God has a particular abhorrence of the deceitful, underhanded sinner who covers his perverse heart with a show of godliness (see chs. 3:32; 12:20; 17:20). With joy the Lord turns from the contemplation of hypocrites to the glad spectacle of the truehearted followers of Jesus.
