Bible Comments

Obtaineth favour; whereby he is and shall be acquitted and justified. A man of wicked devices, who designeth and industriously committeth wickedness, will he condemn, when he standeth in judgment, howsoever he may for the present justify himself, and deceive others into a good opinion of him.

Proverbs 12:2

2 A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
