Commentary on Proverbs 2:14

Theological / Devotional

Rejoice to do evil. They hate the light because they love the wrong. When good men make mistakes, they sorrow for them afterward. But wicked men remember their evil deeds with pleasure. Not only do they enjoy their own misdeeds; they take pleasure in the perverseness of evil itself. That this applies to conditions existing today is shown by the failure of public opinion to react more vigorously against organized and premeditated crime.
