Proverbs 6:18 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 6:18

An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations
Or, "thoughts of wickedness" F5; which are framed and formed in the heart: and this being the source and fountain of all wickedness, is placed in the midst of these hateful and abominable things; (See Gill on Proverbs 6:14); evil thoughts and designs, both against God and men, are intended, which are forged and fabricated in the wicked heart of man; and may respect the depths of Satan in the antichristian beast of Rome, ( Revelation 2:24 ) ; feet that be swift in running to mischief;
to commit all manner of sin with greediness, especially murder; see ( Proverbs 1:16 ) .

Proverbs 6:18 In-Context

16 There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:
17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil,
19 A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers.
20 My son, observe the commandment of your father And do not forsake the teaching of your mother;
