Sentiment of Pro 26:24 carried out.
seven abominations in his heart--that is, very many (compare Pro 24:16). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Seven abominations - Compare Pro 26:16 note. Here "seven" retains, perhaps, its significance as the symbol of completeness. Evil has, as it were, gone through all its work, and holds its accursed Sabbath in the heart in which all things are "very evil." |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
When he speaketh fair - For there are such hypocrites and false friends in the world.
Believe him not - Let all his professions go for nothing.
For there are seven abominations in his heart - That is, he is full of abominations. |
16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
