Proverbs10:32

32. The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable : but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.

To wit, practically, so as to consider and speak. Knowledg is here ascribed to the Lips, as it is to the Hands, Psal. 78. 72. because they are conducted by knowledg and Wisdom.

To God and good men, or what is truly worthy of acceptation; for this is opposed to what is froward or wicked in the next clause.

Marginal references: Heb. frowardnesses.
