Proverbs 10:9 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

He that walketh uprightly Who is sincere, and just, and faithful in his dealings with God, and toward men; walketh surely Hebrew, ילךְ בשׂח, shall walk securely, or confidently, as the word properly signifies; quietly resting upon God's favour and gracious providence for his protection, being supported by the testimony of a good conscience, and therefore not caring who observes or knows his actions, which he endeavours to approve both to God and men. But he that perverteth his ways That walks perversely, or in crooked and sinful paths; that acts hypocritically and deceitfully with God, or with men; shall be known His wickedness shall be publicly discovered, and so he shall be exposed to all that shame and punishment which his sins deserve, and which he thought by his craft and subtlety to avoid.
