Pro_16:29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way [that is] not good.
Ver. 29. A violent man enticeth his neighbour.] As those seducers at Ephesus "dragged disciples after them" {a} {Act_20:30} compelling them by their persuasions to embrace distorted doctrines, such as cause convulsions of conscience. Such are said to "thrust men out of God’s ways"; {Deu_13:5} as Jeroboam did the house of Israel; as Julian and other cunning persecutors did in the primitive times, prevailing as much by their tising tongues, as by their terrifying saws. {b} Heb_11:37, "They were sawn asunder, they were tempted." The apostle ranks and reckons their alluring promises among their violent practices. But "though they speak fair, believe them not; for there are seven abominations in their hearts." {Pro_26:25}
