Commentary on Proverbs 26:25

Theological / Devotional

Speaketh fair. When he speaks in a gentle, winning tone of voice, it is time to beware; for he has probably adopted a gracious manner only for the purpose of deceiving his hearer.

Seven abominations. Seven is the sign of completeness (see Matt. 12:45).
