箴言 21:10 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 21:10

See here the character of a very wicked man. 1. The strong inclination he has to do mischief. His very soul desires evil, desires that evil may be done and that he may have the pleasure, not only of seeing it, but of having a hand in it. The root of wickedness lies in the soul; the desire that men have to do evil, that is the lust which conceives and brings forth sin. 2. The strong aversion he has to do good: His neighbour, his friend, his nearest relation, finds no favour in his eyes, cannot... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 21:10

The soul of the wicked desireth evil ,.... The evil of sin, it being natural to him; he chooses it, delights in it, craves after it, under a notion of pleasure or profit: or the evil of mischief; it is a sport and pastime to him to do injury to others; see Proverbs 10:23 ; he desires both the one and the other with all his soul; his heart is in it, he is set upon it, which shows him to be a wicked man; his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes ; not only he delights to do mischief to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 21:10

The soul of the wicked desireth veil. A wicked man cannot rest without planning and wishing for some new evil thing. Nothing is safe from his malignant activity (comp. Proverbs 4:16 ; Proverbs 10:23 ). His neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes ( Isaiah 13:18 ; Isaiah 26:10 ). He does not look with pity on friend or neighbour, if they stand in the way of the gratification of his desires; he will sacrifice any one, however closely connected, so that he may work his will. Nothing... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 21:10

Desiring evil I. MEN 'S DESIRES ARE DETERMINED BY THEIR NATURES . Good men have good desires, and bad men bad desires. No doubt natural desires may spring up in an innocent heart under circumstances which forbid the satisfaction of them without sin. Only so can one be tempted as Christ was tempted, i.e. without sin. Some indeed have maintained that even Christ, in becoming a partaker of "sinful flesh" ( Romans 8:3 ), actually took upon him a sinful nature, which be purged... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 21:10-13

Lessons and warnings from life experience I. THE MERCILESSNESS OF EVIL DESIRE . ( Proverbs 21:10 .) There is nothing more cruel than unbridled appetite of any kind. All bad desires are perversions of self-love, and men thus became "hateful and hating one another." It is the grace of God which converts the selfish imagination, ever fixed on one narrow object, to the all-embracing imagination which is necessary to the fulfilment of the "golden rule" ( Matthew 7:12 ) II. ... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 21:10

Proverbs 21:10. The soul of the wicked desireth evil His heart is earnestly and fully set in him, as it is expressed Ecclesiastes 8:11, to do evil, to work wickedness, to do mischief to others, or to satisfy his own lusts, though it be with injury of others. His neighbour findeth no favour, &c. If he either endeavour to dissuade him from his wickedness, or stand in the way of his gratifying his lusts. He spares neither friend nor foe. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 21:1-31

God at work in people’s lives (21:1-31)As God directs the course along which a stream flows, so he guides the decisions of national rulers according to his plan (21:1). God knows people’s motives and he will not accept their sacrifices if their thoughts and actions are wrong (2-4). Prosperity that comes through diligence is a fitting reward, but prosperity that comes through greed, lying and violence is a deadly trap (5-8). Some people make life unpleasant for those who live in the same house,... read more
