Proverbs 10:32 - Exposition

Know . A good man's lips are conversant with what is acceptable to God and man. Such a person considers what will please God and edify his neighbour, and speaks in conformity therewith. The LXX . has," The lips of the righteous distil graces ;" ἀποστάζει χάριτας , but probably the right verb is ἐπίσταται , which is found in some manuscripts. Speaketh frowardnsss; rather, knoweth, or is perverseness (comp. Ephesians 4:29 ); Septuagint, ἀποστρέφεται , or, according to the Sinaitic correcter and some other scribes, καταστρέφεται , "is turned aside," or "is overthrown." Delitszch translates, "is mere falsehood."
