  • Keil & Delitzsch (Lutheran), Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament on Proverbs 24:1-2: Pro 24:1-2 After this divergence (in Pro 23:29-35) from the usual form of the proverb, there is now a return to the tetrastich: 1 Envy not evil men, And desire not to have intercourse with them. 2 For their heart thinketh of violence, And their lips speak mischief.
