Commentary

Commentary on Proverbs 19:28

Theological / Devotional

Scorneth judgment. He is not concerned with seeing justice done, so is willing to perjure himself to aid his friend or to harm the innocent. He is careless of the denunciations of the law of God against such practices (Ex. 20:16; Lev. 5: 1).

Devoureth iniquity. Compare Job 15:16; 20:12; Rom. 1:32.
