Commentary on Proverbs 24:8

Theological / Devotional

Mischievous person. The misapplied ingenuity that the reprobate exhibits in planning and executing his nefarious schemes cannot be classed with wisdom or understanding. However skillful he may show himself to be, the most that will be said of him is that he is a “mischievous person,” literally, “lord of mischief.” The cleverest rogue is still to be classed with the fool, since he seeks that which can never give him lasting satisfaction or ultimate gain (see chs. 1:10-19; 12:2).
