Commentary on Proverbs 11:6

Theological / Devotional

Naughtiness. This verse emphasizes the importance of the lesson of the previous verse by repeating the thought in other words. "Naughtiness" should probably be "evil desire" (see on ch. 10:3). It is his own wicked desire that snares the evil man.
