John Trapp on Proverbs 12:5

Verſ. 5. The thoughts of the righteous are right] Hee feeds his thoughts upon the beſt objects; thoſe eſpecially mentioned in that little Bible, Phil. 4.8. Finally brethren, whatſoever things are true, whatſoever things are honeſt, &c. if there bee any virtue, if there bee any praiſe, think on theſe things. If worſe, break in, as they will, hee juſtles them out, and rids the room of them. See the Note on Chap. 11.23.

But the counſels of the wicked are deceit] Not their raſh thoughts onely, but alſo their deliberate ones are how to circumvent others, or to cloak their own wickedneſs.Gen. 6. Every imagination, the whole frame of their thoughts is evil, onely evil, and continually evil. If good thoughts look into a wicked heart, they ſtay not there, as thoſe that like not their lodging: The flaſhes of lightnings may bee diſcerned into the darkeſt priſons. The light that ſhines into an holy heart, is conſtant, like that of the Sun, which keeps due times, and varies not the courſe for any of theſe ſublunary occaſions.
