Proverbs 6:12 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

A naughty person - literally, “a man of Belial,” i. e., a worthless man (see the Deuteronomy 13:13 note). This is the portrait of the man who is not to be trusted, whose look and gestures warn against him all who can observe. His speech is tortuous and crafty; his wink tells the accomplice that the victim is already snared; his gestures with foot and hand are half in deceit, and half in mockery.

Proverbs 6:12

12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
