7 My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness.
7 for my mouth will utter truth; wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
7 My mouth chews and savors and relishes truth - I can't stand the taste of evil!
7 For my mouth will speak truth; Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
7 for I speak the truth and detest every kind of deception.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 8:7
Commentary on Proverbs 8:1-11
(Read Proverbs 8:1-11)
The will of God is made known by the works of creation, and by the consciences of men, but more clearly by Moses and the prophets. The chief difficulty is to get men to attend to instruction. Yet attention to the words of Christ, will guide the most ignorant into saving knowledge of the truth. Where there is an understanding heart, and willingness to receive the truth in love, wisdom is valued above silver and gold.
