2. The tongue deviseth mischiefs. It is a
mark of deep depravity when the evil spoken is intended to promise a yet
greater evil. Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. David represents
the false tongue as being effectual for mischief, like a razor which, unawares
to the person operated on, is making him bald. Or he may mean that as with a
razor a man’s throat may be cut very speedily, under the pretense of shaving
him, so Doeg destroyed the band of priests.
