“An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin. An: Heb. Haughtiness of eyes the plowing: or, the light”
Proverbs 21:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 21:4
The wicked's 'high look' (Hebrew 'rum ayin'—haughty eyes) and 'proud heart' are their 'plowing'—the Hebrew 'niyr' can mean lamp or plowing/tillage. If the latter, their labor produces only sin. Pride characterizes the wicked's fundamental orientation. Proverbs repeatedly condemns pride (6:17, 16:18). Reformed theology sees pride as the original sin—Satan's 'I will be like the Most High' (Isaiah 14:14) and Adam's grasping for autonomous knowledge. Pride rejects God's authority and exalts self. All the wicked's works flow from this prideful heart and are therefore sinful.
