Commentary on Proverbs 21:27

Theological / Devotional

A wicked mind. Any sacrifice made by an unrepentant sinner is unacceptable (see on ch. 15:8), how much more when it is brought with some evil design, either to bribe the Lord to overlook his sin or to make an appearance of piety to deceive men. Yet there are many who give to church or charity a share of the proceeds of their extortionate dealings with a vague idea that they have made things right with God (see MH 340).
