This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





A froward man; or, perverse man, who perverteth his words and ways; who pleaseth not God, and is contrary to men, as was said of the Jews, 1Th_2:15.



Soweth strife, by whispering such things as may provoke one against another.



A whisperer, who secretly carries tales from one to another, publishing those evil words and actions which they should conceal, and detracting from their good actions, and perverting such as are innocent with their false constructions.



Chief friends, Heb. a chief friend; the singular number put for the plural, as is frequent in the Hebrew text.
