Proverbs 10:10

"He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out."

Key Reflection

This verse contrasts the paths of integrity and deceit. Those who live with moral uprightness and follow God's commandments (walk blamelessly) can trust in a secure and stable life, while those who deviate from righteous living (pervert their ways) will eventually face consequences and exposure of their wickedness.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

InProverbs 10:8the relation between the two clauses was one of contrast, here of resemblance. Cunning, reticence, and deceit (Proverbs 6:12note) bring sorrow no less than garrulity.
