Proverbs 29:6 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

While the offence of the wicked, rising out of a confirmed habit of evil, becomes snare for his destruction; the righteous, even if he offend, is forgiven and can still rejoice in his freedom from condemnation. The second clause is taken by some as entirely contrasted with the first; it expresses the joy of one whose conscience is void of offence, and who is in no danger of falling into the snare.

Proverbs 29:6

6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
