Better is the poor In a much safer and happier condition; that walketh in his uprightness That sincerely desires and endeavours to walk in all well pleasing before God; than he that is perverse in his ways Hebrew, דרכים, in two ways, that is, halting in two ways, pretending to virtue, but practising vice; or covering his wicked designs with good pretences; or sometimes erring on one hand, and sometimes on the other, as wicked men commonly do.
