This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_28:18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but [he that is] perverse [in his] ways shall fall at once.
Ver. 18. Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved,] {See Trapp on "Pro_10:9"} "Shall be saved"; a little word, but of large extent. It properly noteth the privative part of a man’s happiness, deliverance from evil; but is put here, and everywhere almost, for the positive part too - fruition of good as well as freedom from evil: it comprehendeth (1.) Malorum ademptionem; ( 2.) Bonorum adeptionem.
But he that is perverse in his ways.] Heb., In his two ways, shall fall in one of them. "Evil shall hunt the wicked man to destroy him"; and albeit he may shuffle for a season from side to side, as Balaam’s ass did, to avoid the angel’s sword, yet he shall not escape mischief. Let our political professors look to it that can tune their fiddle to the bass of the times, that call shift their sails to the sitting of every wind, that like the planet Mercury can be good in conjunction with good, and bad with bad.
