Proverbs 3:32

The froward. A self-willed person who turns from the way of righteousness. For his actions God can have nothing but abhorrence. If he continues in his perverse way, there is nothing for him but judgment and eventual destruction (ch. 14:12).

Secret. Heb. sod, “counsel,” “familiar converse,” “intimacy”. The counsel may be secret, as in Amos 3:7. God’s secret is the revelation of Himself in His Word, in nature, and in His providences. While the most prosperous unbeliever looks to a vague and uncertain future and trembles at the thought of death, the man who follows in the ways of God has an understanding of the workings of providence that enables him to face wealth or woe, life or death, with the same calm certainty.
