Contextual Overview

12 An vngodly person, a wicked man, goeth with a frowarde mouth. 13 He winketh with his eyes, he tokeneth with his feete, he teacheth with his fingers. 14 He is euer imagining mischiefe and frowardnes in his heart, and causeth discorde. 15 Therefore shall his destruction come hastyly vpon hym, sodainly shall he be all to broken, and not be healed. 16 These sixe thinges doth the Lorde hate, and the seuenth he vtterly abhorreth: 17 A proude loke, a lying tongue, handes that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that goeth about wicked imaginations, feete that be swyft in running to mischiefe, 19 A false witnesse that bringeth vp lyes, and hym that soweth discorde among brethren.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He winketh with his eyes,.... Not through natural infirmity, but purposely and with design; with one of his eyes, as Aben Ezra, as is usual with such persons: it is the air and gesture of a sneering and deceitful man, who gives the wink to some of his friends, sneering at the weakness of another in company; or as signifying to them some secret design of his against another, which he chooses not to declare in any other way;

he speaketh with his feet; the motions of the feet have a language; the stamping of the feet expresses rage; here it seems to intend the giving of a him to another, by privately pressing his foot with his, when he should be silent or should speak, or do this or the other thing he would have him do;

he teacheth with his fingers; by stretching them out or compressing them; and so showing either scorn and contempt x, or rage and fury. The whole of it seems to design the secret, cunning, artful ways, which wicked men have to convey their meanings to one another, without being understood by other persons; they have a language to themselves, which they express by the motions of their eyes, feet, and fingers: and this character of art and cunning, dissimulation and deceit, fitly agrees with the man of sin, 2 Thessalonians 2:10. So mimics are said to speak with their hands; some have been famous in this way y.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 6:13. He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers — These things seem to be spoken of debauchees; and the following quotation from Ovid, Amor. lib. i., El. iv., ver. 15, shows the whole process of the villany spoken of by Solomon:

Cum premit ille torum, vultu comes ipsa modesto

Ibis, ut accumbas: clam mihi tange pedem.

Me specta, nutusque meos, vultum que loquacem

Excipe furtivas, et refer ipsa, notas.

Verba superciliis sine voce loquentia dicam

Verba leges digitis, verba notata mero.

Cum tibi succurrit Veneris lascivia nostrae,

Purpureas tenero pollice tange genas, &c., &c.


The whole elegy is in the same strain: it is translated in Garth's Ovid, but cannot be introduced here.
