Commentary on Proverbs 12:13

Theological / Devotional

Out of trouble. The wicked man gets himself entangled in the lies that he tells, and there is no one to get him out. The righteous man gets into difficulties through the attacks of his enemies, but his honesty and the overruling power of God bring him out of his troubles (see Ps. 37: 39, 40; 2 Peter 2:9).
