Proverbs 24:9 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

The thought of foolishness is sin. — Rather, Sin is the contrivance (plotting) of self-will. Sin is the “transgression of the law” of God (1 John 3:4), when we desert the plain rule of duty, and plot how we can indulge our own self-will.

Proverbs 24:9

9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
