Proverbs 15:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The way; the conversation or course of life. This verse seems to contain a reason of the foregoing. God hates wicked men's religious performances, because they are accompanied with ungodly lives, and they pull down with one hand what they build up with another. That followeth after righteousness; that earnestly desires, and constantly and diligently endeavours, to be holy and righteous in the course of his life, although he doth not attain to that perfect righteousness which he thirsts after.

Proverbs 15:9

9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
