Commentary
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,.... Or, "thoughts of wickedness" (e); which are framed and formed in the heart: and this being the source and fountain of all wickedness, is placed in the midst of these hateful and abominable things; See Gill on
Pro 6:14
; evil thoughts and designs, both against God and men, are intended, which are forged and fabricated in the wicked heart of man; and may respect the depths of Satan in the antichristian beast of Rome,
Rev 2:24
;
feet that be swift in running to mischief; to commit all manner of sin with greediness, especially murder; see
Pro 1:16
.
