This shows that as men are so is their way. 1. Evil men have evil ways.
If the man be froward, his way also is strange; and this is the way of
most men, such is the general corruption of mankind. They have all gone
aside (Ps. xiv. 2, 3); all flesh have perverted their way. But the
froward man, the man of deceit, that acts by craft and trick in all he
does, his way is strange, contrary to all the rules of honour and
honesty. It is strange, for you know not where to find him nor when you
have him; it is strange, for it is alienated from all good and
estranges men from God and his favour. It is what he behold afar off,
and so do all honest men. 2. Men that are pure are proved to be such by
their work, for it is right, it is just and regular; and they are
accepted of God and approved of men. The way of mankind in their
apostasy is froward and strange; but as for the pure, those that by the
grace of God are recovered out of that state, of which there is here
and there one, their work is right, as Noah's was in the old world,
Gen. vii. 1.
