Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
All Commentaries on Job 20:12 Go To Job 20
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Evil of any king, and particularly (Haydock) injustice, which at first seems sweet, but will prove in the end a mortal poison. (Calmet)
The unjust will be forced to restore his ill-gotten goods, or suffer eternally for the neglect, ver. 14, 18. (Haydock)
Habitual sins are also overcome with most difficulty, ver. 11. (Menochius)
