This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
An ungodly man diggeth up evil - How will the following suit?
Effodiuntur opes irritamenta malorum
“Wealth, the incitement to all evil, is digged up out the earth.”
A wicked man labors as much to bring about an evil purpose, as the quarryman does to dig up stones.
In his lips - a burning fire - His words are as inflammable, in producing strife and contention among his neighbors, as fire is in igniting dry stubble.
