Commentary on Proverbs 29:16

Theological / Devotional

Transgression. When wicked men flourish, they naturally lower the whole moral tone of the community, but they will not continue without end. The righteous who are praying for wickedness to be restrained will see their prayers answered (Ps. 37:34; Prov. 28:28).
