Commentary on Proverbs 15:9

Theological / Devotional

The way of the wicked. The Lord hates the way of the wicked, but loves the righteous man. The good man not only follows righteousness, but he pursues it ardently, as is indicated by the intensive form of the verb here translated "followeth after" (see I Tim. 6:11).
