“An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,”
Proverbs 6:18 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 6:18
A heart that devises wicked imaginations - internal thought-life manufacturing evil schemes. The verse exposes sin's origin in the heart's planning before expression in conduct. Jesus teaches that external sins flow from internal corruption (Matt 15:19). The 'devising' suggests creativity applied to evil - fallen human reason invents new ways of sinning. This requires heart transformation through regeneration.
