Gill's Notes on the Bible
A naughty person, a wicked man,.... Or, "a man of Belial, a man of iniquity" w. The former signifies an unprofitable man, a man good for nothing, that is of no use to God or man; or one that is lawless, that has thrown off the yoke of the law, and will not be subject to it; Belial is the name of the devil; and here it may design such as are his children, and will do his lusts: the latter phrase signifies one that is wholly given up to work wickedness. The characters well agree with the ανομοÏ, the lawless one, the man of sin and son of perdition, antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:3. Who
walketh with a froward mouth; speaking perverse things, things contrary to the light of nature and reason, to law and Gospel; uttering lies, and deceit, and blasphemies against God and man; to which he has used himself, and in which he continues, as the word "walketh" signifies: so antichrist has a mouth opened in blasphemies against God and his saints, Revelation 13:5.
w ××××¢× ××ש ××× "homo Belijahal, vir iniquitatis", Montanus, Vatablus, Baynus, Michaelis.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A naughty person - literally, âa man of Belial,â i. e., a worthless man (see the Deuteronomy 13:13 note). This is the portrait of the man who is not to be trusted, whose look and gestures warn against him all who can observe. His speech is tortuous and crafty; his wink tells the accomplice that the victim is already snared; his gestures with foot and hand are half in deceit, and half in mockery.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 6:12. A naughty person — ××× ××××¢× adam beliyal, "Adam good for nothing." When he lost his innocence. A man apostata; Old MS. Bible.
A wicked man — ××ש ××× ish aven. He soon became a general transgressor after having departed from his God. All his posterity, unless restored by Divine grace, are men of Belial, and sinners by trade; and most of them, in one form or other, answer the character here given. They yield their members instruments of unrighteousness unto sin.
