Proverbs 16:27 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Diggeth up evil; inventeth or designeth mischief to others, and prosecuteth his evil designs with great and constant industry. In his lips there is as a burning fire; as his thoughts, so also his words are very vexatious and pernicious; his tongue is set on fire of hell, and sets himself and others on fire by lies and slanders, and other provoking speeches.

Proverbs 16:27

27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
