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 that the LORD hates, seven things detestable to him:
17 snobbish eyes, a lying tongue, hands that spill innocent blood,
18 a heart set on wicked plans, feet that run quickly to evil,
19 a false witness who breathes lies, and one who causes conflicts among relatives.
20 My son, keep your father's command; don't abandon your mother's instruction.
