Proverbs 16:29 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way [that is] not good.

Ver. 29. A violent man enticeth his neighbour.] As those seducers at Ephesus "dragged disciples after them" a Act 20:30 compelling them by their persuasions to embrace distorted doctrines, such as cause convulsions of conscience. Such are said to "thrust men out of God's ways"; Deu 13:5 as Jeroboam did the house of Israel; as Julian and other cunning persecutors did in the primitive times, prevailing as much by their tising tongues, as by their terrifying saws. b Hebrews 11:37, "They were sawn asunder, they were tempted." The apostle ranks and reckons their alluring promises among their violent practices. But "though they speak fair, believe them not; for there are seven abominations in their hearts." Pro 26:25

a αποσπαν, διεστραμμενα .

b επρισθησαν, επειρασθησαν .
