Commentary on Proverbs 3:29

Theological / Devotional

Devise not evil. A warning against insincerity or against deliberate deception in dealing with a trusting neighbor. If true wisdom brings the reward of eternal happiness amid the riches of the new earth, what foolishness it is to jeopardize that future by petty wrongs committed against an unsuspecting friend! So deceptive is the human heart that some who thus plunder their neighbors convince themselves that they do no wrong (see Jer. 17:9).
