Proverbs 23:16

Yea, my inmost being shall rejoice, when your lips speak right things.
Read Chapter 23

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849
Fall into smaller sins, (St. Gregory vi. in 2 Reg. xv.) or into disgrace, as yippol (Haydock) rather intimates. (Vatable) (St. Augustine, City of God xi. 31.) Both significations agree with the context. See Job v. 27., and Matthew xviii. 21. (Calmet) He who is not subject to mortal sin, may still be exposed to many failings, and venial sins, which do not deprive him of the title of just; whereas the wicked consents to mortal sin, from which he riseth not so easily. Hence the wise man admonishes us not to lie in wait, or calumniously seek impiety in the house or soul of the just. (Worthington)

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
