32 For the Lord detests the perverse but takes the upright into his confidence.
32 For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.
32 for the devious person is an abomination to the Lord, but the upright are in his confidence.
32 "Why not?" you say. Because God can't stand twisted souls. It's the straightforward who get his respect.
32 For the perverse person is an abomination to the Lord, But His secret counsel is with the upright.
32 Such wicked people are detestable to the Lord, but he offers his friendship to the godly.
2 Good people obtain favor from the Lord, but he condemns those who devise wicked schemes.
2 A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
2 A good man obtains favor from the Lord, but a man of evil devices he condemns.
2 A good person basks in the delight of God, and he wants nothing to do with devious schemers.
2 A good man obtains favor from the Lord, But a man of wicked intentions He will condemn.
2 The Lord approves of those who are good, but he condemns those who plan wickedness.
(Read Proverbs 12:2)
The man who covers selfish and vicious designs under a profession of religion or friendship, will be condemned.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 3:32
Commentary on Proverbs 3:27-35
(Read Proverbs 3:27-35)
Our business is to observe the precepts of Christ, and to copy his example; to do justice, to love mercy, and to beware of covetousness; to be ready for every good work, avoiding needless strife, and bearing evils, if possible, rather than seeking redress by law. It will be found there is little got by striving. Let us not envy prosperous oppressors; far be it from the disciples of Christ to choose any of their ways. These truths may be despised by the covetous and luxurious, but everlasting contempt will be the portion of such scorners, while Divine favour is shown to the humble believer.
