30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
30 Whoever winks with their eye is plotting perversity; whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.
30 Whoever winks his eyes plans
30 A shifty eye betrays an evil intention; a clenched jaw signals trouble ahead.
30 He winks his eye to devise perverse things; He purses his lips and brings about evil.
30 With narrowed eyes, people plot evil; with a smirk, they plan their mischief.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 16:30
Commentary on Proverbs 16:29-30
(Read Proverbs 16:29-30)
Some do all the mischief they can by force and violence, and are blind to the result.
