Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 11:20

20. They that are of a froward heart , are abomination to the LORD , but such as are upright in their way , are his delight.

Hypocrites, as appears from the opposition of these to the upright in the next Clause: whose Hearts are false to God, and contrary to their own professions.

Though by their cunning Artifices they may deceive men, and gain their good opinion and favour, yet God sees their naughty Hearts and ha[illegible: 1+ letters]eth them.

In the course of their lives and actions. By which changing of the Phrase, from Heart in the first Clause, to way here, he intimates that the sincerity and hypocrisie of mens hearts are discovered, and to be judged by their conversations.
