Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 19:16

16 He that keepeth the commandment , keepeth his own soul, but he that despiseth his ways , shall die.

The commands of God called by way of eminency the commandment, as the Word is oft used Emphatically for the word of God, as hath been noted before.

Either 1. His own ways, by not taking heed to his ways, so as to order his Conversation aright. Or 2. The ways of God, who is understood in the former clause.
