Reformed 1771 · An Exposition of the Old and New Testament, Proverbs 16:28

John Gill, on Prov 16:28

John Gill · 1697–1771
Prov 16:28 · Douay-Rheims
“A perverse man stirreth up quarrels: and one full of words separateth princes.”
On this verse:
“A violent man enticeth his neighbour,.... As false teachers do, who are grievous wolves, not sparing the flock, and who by good words and fair speeches deceive the heart of the simple; and as the man of sin, that has shed the blood of the saints, and been drunk with the same, deceives with his miracles and sorceries them that dwell on the earth; and leadeth him into the way that is not good; yea, into one that is very bad; so far are false teachers from leading their neighbours into the good old way of truth and righteousness, that they lead them into pernicious ways, by whom the way; of truth is spoken evil of; they lead them into a ditch, and into destruction hereafter; as does the man of sin and violence his followers.”
