Proverbs 14:9
_ _ Fools make a mock at sin — or, “Sin deludes fools.”
_ _ righteous ... favour — that is, of God, instead of the punishment of sin. |
Proverbs 14:9
_ _ See here, 1. How wicked people are hardened in their wickedness: they make a mock at sin. They make a laughing matter of the sins of others, making themselves and their companions merry with that for which they should mourn, and they make a light matter of their own sins, both when they are tempted to sin and when they have committed it; they call evil good and good evil (Isaiah 5:20), turn it off with a jest, rush into sin (Jeremiah 8:6) and say they shall have peace though they go on. They care not what mischief they do by their sins, and laugh at those that tell them of it. They are advocates for sin, and are ingenious at framing excuses for it. Fools make a mock at the sin-offering (so some); those that make light of sin make light of Christ. Those are fools that make light of sin, for they make light of that which God complains of (Amos 2:13), which lay heavily upon Christ, and which they themselves will have other thoughts of shortly. 2. How good people are encouraged in their goodness: Among the righteous there is favour; if they in any thing offend, they presently repent and obtain the favour of God. They have a goodwill one to another; and among them, in their societies, there is mutual charity and compassion in cases of offences, and no mocking. |
Proverbs 14:9
Favour — They find favour both with God and men. |
Proverbs 14:9
Fools make a mock at (f) sin: but among the righteous [there is] favour.
(f) Does not know the grievousness of it, nor God's judgments against the same. |
