Proverbs 14:9 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Fools make a mock at sin. — Rather, perhaps, sin mocks fools (they miss the gratification they expected from it); or, the sin-offering mocks them. God does not accept it, and so they have the trouble and cost of offering it for nothing; “but among the upright there is favour.” God is well pleased with them.

Proverbs 14:9
