George Leo Haydock, on Prov 20:17

“The bread of lying is sweet to a man: but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.”

“Lying. Deceit, and unlawful pleasures, chap. ix. 17. But God mingles disgust with them, and will punish the guilty, at least hereafter. Worldly enjoyments seem sweet, but they are full of gravel, and hurtful.”
