Proverbs 21:29
_ _ hardeneth his face — is obstinate.
_ _ directeth ... way — considers it, and acts advisedly. |
Proverbs 21:29
_ _ Here is, 1. The presumption and impudence of a wicked man: He hardens his face — brazens it, that he may not blush — steels it, that he may not tremble when he commits the greatest crimes; he bids defiance to the terrors of the law and the checks of his own conscience, the reproofs of the word and the rebukes of Providence; he will have his way and nothing shall hinder him, Isaiah 57:17. 2. The caution and circumspection of a good man: As for the upright, he does not say, What would I do? What have I a mind to? and that will I have; but, What should I do? What does God require of me? What is duty? What is prudence? What is for edification? And so he does not force his way, but direct his way by a safe and certain rule. |
Proverbs 21:29
Hardeneth — Continues in evil with obstinacy and impudence. Directs — He orders his steps aright. |
