FOOTNOTES:

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 ) .
