“To run to mischief” is to be eager to put something over on someone–to get by with something–to get something by deceit or trickery. “He goes after her straightway, as an ox goes to the slaughter or as a fool to the correction of the stocks” ( Proverbs 7:22). When your feet carry you to do evil when they carry you to worldly places when they carry you around the country spreading lies, rumors, and gossip when they carry you from bed to bed, from pleasure to pleasure, your feet reveal the condition of your heart.įeet that are swift to run into mischief are people who practice mischievous activities and can’t turn down the opportunity when it comes up again because they’re so used to doing it. The paths that the feet follow in life reveal the condition of the heart ( Matthew 12:33). When “wicked imaginations” are formed in the heart, the feet will be quick to carry them out ( Isaiah 59:7). “These six things the LORD hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to mischief, A false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren. FEET THAT ARE SWIFT IN RUNNING TO MISCHIEF
