Proverbs 21:7,8 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them The injury which they do to others shall, either by God or men, be returned upon their own heads; because they refuse to do judgment They wilfully and obstinately give up themselves to unrighteous practices. The way of man The course of man's life, of the life of every man, as he is by nature, or in his corrupt state; is froward and strange Perverse and estranged from God, and from man's primitive integrity, and from the rule which God hath given him whereby to direct his actions, namely, reason and Scripture; but as for the pure, his work is right His conversation, his tempers, words, and works; his designs and undertakings are agreeable to that rule.

Proverbs 21:7-8
