Wesley: Pro 11:9 - -- From the infection of the hypocrite's evil counsel.

From the infection of the hypocrite's evil counsel.

JFB: Pro 11:9 - -- (Compare Psa 35:16; Dan 11:32). The just is saved by superior discernment.

(Compare Psa 35:16; Dan 11:32). The just is saved by superior discernment.

A hypocrite with his mouth - חנף chaneph might be better translated infidel than hypocrite. The latter is one that pretends to religion; that uses it for secular purposes. The former is one who disbelieves Divine revelation, and accordingly is polluted, and lives in pollution. This is properly the force of the original word. Such persons deal in calumny and lies, and often thus destroy the character of their neighbor. Besides, they are very zealous in propagating their own infidel notions; and thus, by this means, destroy their neighbor; but the experimental knowledge which the just have of God and his salvation prevents them from being ensnared.

TSK: Pro 11:9 - -- An hypocrite : Or rather, as chanaiph properly signifies, a wicked, profligate person, an infidel. 1Ki 13:18-22, 1Ki 22:6, 1Ki 22:20-23; Job 8:13, ...

Barnes: Pro 11:9 - -- Through knowledge - Better, By the knowledge of the just, shall they (i. e., the neighbors) be delivered.

Through knowledge - Better, By the knowledge of the just, shall they (i. e., the neighbors) be delivered.

Poole: Pro 11:9 - -- With his mouth by his corrupt communication, whereby he endeavours to draw him to error or wickedness. Through knowledge to wit, of God, and of his...

With his mouth by his corrupt communication, whereby he endeavours to draw him to error or wickedness.

Through knowledge to wit, of God, and of his word, which makes men wise, and discovers, and so prevents, the frauds of deceivers.

Be delivered from the infection of the hypocrite’ s evil and crafty counsel.

Gill: Pro 11:9 - -- An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour,.... Deceives him with his flatteries and lies, and draws him into destructive schemes and pract...

An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour,.... Deceives him with his flatteries and lies, and draws him into destructive schemes and practices; or "corrupts" him, as the word i signifies, and as the Targum renders it, with false doctrines; so, with fair words and good speeches, such who lie in wait to deceive impose upon the simple and credulous; and false teachers, with their damnable heresies, bring swift destruction on men; and particularly antichrist and his emissaries, through speaking lies in hypocrisy, corrupt and destroy many, 1Ti 4:1;

but through knowledge shall the just be delivered; from the hypocrite and deceitful worker, and from being corrupted and destroyed by the words of his mouth: Jarchi says, through the knowledge of the law, which warns against him; but rather through the knowledge of the Gospel, which the just man has; for as by this such escape the pollutions of the world, so likewise they are delivered, are kept and secured, from the error of the wicked: through a man's knowledge of himself, of his descent from Adam, of the corruption of his nature, of the plague of his heart, and the exceeding sinfulness of sin; of his lost and undone state; of his impotency to that which is good, of his incapacity to fulfil the law, and atone for sin; and of the insufficiency of his own righteousness to justify him before God; he is delivered and preserved from giving into the notions of the purity of human nature, the power of free will, and the doctrine of justification by works: through his knowledge of the person of Christ; of his offices and relations; of him as a Saviour; of the efficacy of his blood, the excellency of his righteousness, and the completeness of his sacrifice; and through the knowledge of God in Christ, and of the Spirit and of his operations of grace, as well as of the sacred Scriptures in general; he is safe from being carried away with any errors concerning any of the divine Persons, particularly concerning the deity, sonship, and satisfaction of Christ; in short, as ignorance is the mother of devotion, superstition, and error, in the church of Rome, spiritual experimental knowledge of the above things is the best preservative from all errors and heresies which corrupt and destroy the souls of men, to be found in that apostate church, or elsewhere.
