Proverbs 28:9 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

He that turneth away his ear, &c. That obstinately refuses to yield obedience to God's commands; even his prayer shall be abomination To God, whose law he despises. God will abhor and reject his person and all his services. “He,” says Lord Clarendon, “who will not hearken to what God directs, nor do what he enjoins, hath no reason to pretend to ask any thing of him. If we live like heathens, or infidels, our Christian prayers do but affront his majesty, and our praises depress his glory.” Reader, mark this!

Proverbs 28:9

9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
