The Worthless Person
“A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.”
Proverbs 6:12 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 6:12
A naughty person, a wicked man, walks with a froward mouth. The 'naughty person' (adam beliya'al - worthless person, scoundrel) is characterized by perverse speech. Beliya'al suggests moral worthlessness, one who brings no benefit to society. Such persons spread corruption through deceitful words. The verse identifies corrupt speech as defining characteristic of worthless individuals - what they say reveals what they are.
