Verse 20. He that hath a froward heart, shall not find good: and he that is perverse in his tongue, shall fall into evil.
Verse 20. Hee that hath a froward heart, shall not finde good: and he that is peruerse in his tongue, shall fall into euill.
HE that hath a froward heart] which is not only misled by ignorance, or subject to faults by frailty, or overtaken at some times by passions, but is given to be wilful and stubborn, his soul is in the power of frowardness: [shall not find good] shall obtain no favour or blessing from God, but judgements and curses rather, both for his everlasting state, and for his present condition, howsoever he may seem to possess many earthly commodities: [and he that is perverse in his tongue] which abuseth his tongue to swearing, lying, flattering, railing, filthiness, or any other lewd speaking, [shall fall into evil] shall feel and find in the end some heavy stroke of God to light upon him. See the danger of frowardness, Chap. 11. verse 20. where the froward of heart are said to be abomination to the Lord: and Chap. 12. vers. 8. where he that is froward in heart is threatened to be despised. And the danger that cometh by an evil tongue shall be showed in the next Chapter, verse 7.
