Commentary on Proverbs 23:15

Theological / Devotional

Lay not wait. The wicked man is usually envious of the good man who enjoys the protection of the Lord. He often possesses a sinister desire to lead the righteous into sin so that they may be in as precarious a state as he himself. Further, the greedy man often seeks to deprive the innocent of their homes in order to gain an unjust profit. Those who prey upon the just are careless of the sorrow they cause or even take pleasure in it (see Prov. 1:11, 12; 4:16; Amos 8:5, 6).
