Commentary on Proverbs 6:14

Theological / Devotional

In his heart. The heart of the sinner is perverted so that every thought, every imagination, is tainted with evil. The wicked man is not content to remain wicked himself, but seeks always to draw others into the same trouble that he is in. The amount of time and energy expended in devising mischief, if diverted to gainful employment, would assure him a steady and honest living. However, he seems to be obsessed with the need to think up ever-new schemes for the discomfiture of others.
