He employs his other members for the same nefarious purpose. In the language of St. Paul, he yields his members to uncleanness, and to iniquity unto iniquity ( Romans 6:19 ). "To wink with the eye (," as in Proverbs 10:10 and Psalm 35:19 , or "with the eyes ()," is properly to compress or nip them together, and so to wink, and give the signal to others not to interfere (Gesenius and Delitzsch); cf. the LXX.,; and the Vulgate,Aquila and Theodoret, however, read,, "heorThe observation of the teacher in Proverbs 10:10 is, "He that winketh with his eyes causeth sorrow."

When thou art present, he will speak sweetly, and will admire thy words: but at the last he will writhe his mouth, and slander thy sayings. I have hated many things, but nothing like him; for the Lord will hate him" (Ecclus. 27:22-24). The heathen poet Naevius says of the impudent woman -Compare also Ovid's words ('Amor.,' 1:4, 16) -So Tibullus, 1:12 -The lesson which we may learn from this verse is not to abuse the members of our bodies, by employing them for the purposes of deceit and hypocrisy, and so to promote evil, but to put them to their natural and legitimate use.Alphabetical: and eye eyes feet fingers his motions points signals who winks with
