Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Proverbs 16:5

_ _ (Compare Proverbs 3:32).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Proverbs 16:5

_ _ Note, 1. The pride of sinners sets God against them. He that, being high in estate is proud in heart, whose spirit is elevated with his condition, so that he becomes insolent in his conduct towards God and man, let him know that though he admires himself, and others caress him, yet he is an abomination to the Lord. The great God despises him; the holy God detest him. 2. The power of sinners cannot secure them against God, though they strengthen themselves with body hands. Though they may strengthen one another with their confederacies and combinations, joining forces against God, they shall not escape his righteous judgment. Woe unto him that strives with his Maker, Proverbs 11:21; Isaiah 45:9.
