(b) Puts his life in danger.


Pro 20:5 Counsel in the heart of (c) man [is like] deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

Pro 20:25 [It is] a snare to the man [who] (g) devoureth [that which is] holy, and after vows to make enquiry.

(g) That is, to apply or take for his own use, that which was appointed to God's and then ask how he may be exempted from the fault.


Pro 20:26 A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the (h) wheel over them.

(h) Which was a kind of punishment then used.


Pro 20:27 The (i) spirit of man [is] the lamp of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

(i) The word of God gives life to man and causes us to see and try the secret of our dark hearts, Heb 4:12.


Pro 20:30 (k) The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so [do] stripes the inward parts of the belly.
