Contextual Overview

12A worthless person, a wicked man, Is one who walks with a perverse (corrupt, vulgar) mouth. 13Who winks with his eyes [in mockery], who shuffles his feet [to signal], Who points with his fingers [to give subversive instruction]; 14Who perversely in his heart plots trouble and evil continually; Who spreads discord and strife. 15Therefore [the crushing weight of] his disaster will come suddenly upon him; Instantly he will be broken, and there will be no healing or remedy [because he has no heart for God].16These six things the LORD hates; Indeed, seven are repulsive to Him: 17A proud look [the attitude that makes one overestimate oneself and discount others], a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, 18A heart that creates wicked plans, Feet that run swiftly to evil, 19A false witness who breathes out lies [even half-truths], And one who spreads discord (rumors) among brothers.

Deuteronomy 3:11
(For only Og king of Bashan was left of the remnant of the [giants known as the] Rephaim. Behold, his bed frame was a bed frame of iron; is it not in Rabbah of the Ammonites? It was nine cubits (12 ft.) long and four cubits (6 ft.) wide, using the cubit of a man [the forearm to the end of the middle finger].)

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly,.... Unthought of and unexpected: he that deviseth mischief to others secretly shall have no warning of his own ruin, nor time and means of preventing it; the destruction of antichrist will be sudden, and of all wicked men at the coming of Christ, 1 Thessalonians 5:3;

suddenly shall he be broken without remedy; or, "and there shall be no healing" b: his bones will be broken to pieces, and there will be no cure for him; or he shall be like an earthen vessel, which, when broke, cannot be put together again. The ruin of wicked men is sudden, inevitable, and irreparable; so antichrist will "come to his end, and none shall help him", Daniel 11:45.

b ואין מרפא "et non sanitas", Pagninus, Montanus; "curatio", Junius Tremellius "medicina", Piscator, Cocceius.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The duper and the dupe shall share the same calamity.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 6:15. Suddenly shall he be broken — Probably alluding to some punishment of the adulterer, such as being stoned to death. A multitude shall join together, and so overwhelm him with stones, that he shall have his flesh and bones broken to pieces, and there shall be no remedy-none to deliver or pity him.
