Wesley: Pro 10:10 - -- That secretly designs mischief against others, as this phrase is used, Psa 35:19.

That secretly designs mischief against others, as this phrase is used, Psa 35:19.

Two vices contrasted; hypocrisy, or insinuating evil against one (Pro 6:13; Psa 35:19), and rashness of speech. In each case, the results are on the evildoers.

Clarke: Pro 10:10 - -- He that winketh with the eye - Instead of the latter clause, on which see Pro 10:8, the Septuagint has, ὁ δε ελεγχων μετα παῥ...

He that winketh with the eye - Instead of the latter clause, on which see Pro 10:8, the Septuagint has, ὁ δε ελεγχων μετα παῥρησιας ειρηνοποιει· "but he that reproveth with freedom, maketh peace."This is also the reading of the Syriac and Arabic. A faithful open reproving of sin is more likely to promote the peace of society than the passing it by slightly, or taking no notice of it; for if the wicked turn to God at the reproof, the law of peace will soon be established in his heart, and the law of kindness will flow from his tongue.

In Pro 10:8 the relation between the two clauses was one of contrast, here of resemblance. Cunning, reticence, and deceit (Pro 6:12 note) bring sorrow no less than garrulity.

Poole: Pro 10:10 - -- That winketh with the eye that secretly and cunningly designs mischiefs against others, as this phrase is used, Psa 35:19 Pro 6:13 . Causeth sorrow ...

That winketh with the eye that secretly and cunningly designs mischiefs against others, as this phrase is used, Psa 35:19 Pro 6:13 .

Causeth sorrow to others, and afterwards to himself.

But or, and , as it is in the Hebrew; for vice is not here opposed to virtue, as it is in many other proverbs, but one vice is compared with another.

A prating fool who is so far from such deceits, that he runs into the other extreme, and uttereth all his mind , as is said of the fool, Pro 29:11 , and thereby speaks many things offensive to others, and mischievous to himself.

Haydock: Pro 10:10 - -- Sorrow. Septuagint add, "to men as well as to himself." (Calmet) --- "But he who chides boldly shall make peace," (Haydock) or "work safety," as t...

Sorrow. Septuagint add, "to men as well as to himself." (Calmet) ---

"But he who chides boldly shall make peace," (Haydock) or "work safety," as the Syriac and Arabic also read, instead of Hebrew, "a prating fool shall fall." "When a man connives at his friend's failings,...the offender is encouraged to sin on, and to heap up matter for very sorrowful reflections; but the man, who with an honest freedom, prudently reproves him, most effectually contrives his honour and safety." The consequences of a virtuous and a vicious friendship, seem to be also expressed in the next verse. Thus the latter hemistic generally illustrates the first. But here, part of ver. 8. may be improperly inserted. The two parts of the verses in Proverbs, &c., being arranged in distinct columns, has occasioned sometimes a part, and sometimes a whole verse, to be omitted, as the transcriber might mistake the line. (Kennicott)

He that winketh with the eye,.... The Syriac and Arabic versions add, "with fraud". A descriptive character of a wicked man, Pro 6:13; who so does, either to draw and allure persons to go along with him, and join him in his evil practices; or by way of scorn and contempt of others; or as a token to another of its being the proper time to circumvent his neighbour, or do him an injury. Such an one

causeth sorrow; to himself in the issue, however he may for the present please himself with his evil doings; and to others, whom he allures and deceives. The Arabic version is, "heaps afflictions" or "sorrows on men"; whom he corrupts and draws into his evil company and conversation;

but a prating fool shall fall; or, "be taken", as the Targum; or "beaten", as the Vulgate Latin; See Gill on Pro 10:8.
