Commentary on Proverbs 2:12

Theological / Devotional

Evil man. “Man” is a supplied word and not necessarily needed. It is sufficient to say “way of evil.” From such, understanding will preserve us.

Froward things. Heb. tahpukoth, “perversities,” from the root haphak, “to turn,” or, “to overturn.” The perverseness with which false teachers twist the plain words of Scripture makes even some established believers begin to wonder as to what is truth. We must seek to avoid contact with those who do not wish to learn, but only to impart error.

A deep love and knowledge of the truth is the only sure shield against the deceptions of the last days (see Matt. 24:24; GC 593, 594).
