Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 9. - An hypocrite (chaneph); simulator, Vulgate. So translated continually in Job, e.g. 8:13; 13:16, etc. Others take it to mean "profane," "godless." Such a man, by his falsehoods, insinuations, and slanders, destroys his neighbour as far as he is able (Proverbs 12:6). Septuagint, "In the mouth of the wicked is a snare for fellow citizens." Through knowledge. By the knowledge which the just possess, and which they display by judicious counsel, peace and safety are secured. Septuagint, "Knowledge affords an easy path (εὔοδος) for the just."
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) An hypocrite.--Rather, the impure, profane.Through knowledge.--The just, by the knowledge given them by God, shall see through the fraud.
