Proverbs 10:9 - Exposition

He that walketh uprightly ( Proverbs 2:7 ); Vulgate and Septuagint, "in simplicity," having nothing to conceal or to fear. So Christ enjoins his followers to be guileless as children, and harmless as doves. Surely ; equivalent to "securely;" ἀμερίμνως , Aquila, having no fear of inopportune exposure, because he has no secret sin. He that perverteth his ways; deals in crooked practices. Shall be known ( Proverbs 12:16 ). He shall be exposed and punished, and put to open shame. Having this apprehension always present, he cannot walk with confidence as the innocent does. Hence the antithesis in the text.
