Proverbs 16:29

29 vir iniquus lactat amicum suum et ducit eum per viam non bonam

Proverbs 16:29 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 16:29

A violent man enticeth his neighbour
As false teachers do, who are grievous wolves, not sparing the flock, and who by good words and fair speeches deceive the heart of the simple; and as the man of sin, that has shed the blood of the saints, and been drunk with the same, deceives with his miracles and sorceries them that dwell on the earth; and leadeth him into the way [that is] not good;
yea, into one that is very bad; so far are false teachers from leading their neighbours into the good old way of truth and righteousness, that they lead them into pernicious ways, by whom the way; of truth is spoken evil of; they lead them into a ditch, and into destruction hereafter; as does the man of sin and violence his followers.
