Proverbs 28:4 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

They that forsake the law, that live in the contempt of and disobedience to God's law, praise the wicked; honour their persons, contrary to Psalms 15:4; freely and familiarly associate themselves with them, and approve of their sinful courses; all which proceeds from their great likeness to them. Contend with them; are so far from praising or applauding them, that they severely rebuke them, and to the utmost of their power oppose them in their wicked enterprises.

Proverbs 28:4

4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
