Loveth not, i.e. hateth and avoideth it; for more is here understood than is expressed, as it is Proverbs 11:21, Proverbs 12:3, and elsewhere. Neither will he go unto, seek their company and conversation, as his duty and interest obligeth him, the wise, i.e. the godly, because he knows they who are so indeed will make conscience of reproving him.
