27 A scoundrel plots evil,
and on their lips it is like a scorching fire.
Proverbs Club Commentary
The Wicked plan evil,
organize it with others when needed,
and execute their criminal plots.
“Scorching Fire” not only describes their words,
but also their deeds, and, of course, their fate.

27 The greedy bring ruin to their households,
but the one who hates bribes will live.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Avarice destroys the nuclear family.
Judas excitedly grasped his 30 pieces of silver.
Soon, he went back and threw it at the Wicked.
Then, he went out and hanged himself.
Generosity is the cure for greed.

27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
turning a person from the snares of death.
Proverbs Club Commentary
The fear of the Lord is reverence for Jesus.
It puts us on the Narrow Path, and keeps us there.
All other paths lead only to death.
