Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
Who rejoice to do evil, (and) delight in the frowardness of the wicked - (Proverbs 10:23; Isaiah 3:9; Jeremiah 11:15. end.) Thus, Ahab "sold himself to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up" (1 Kings 21:25). It is a just judgment of God to give up to their own delusion them "that have pleasure in unrighteousness" (2 Thessalonians 2:12). Delight," exult, leap with joy at hearing of frowardness of other wicked men. So Romans 1:32. But the end is death. Their leap for joy, says Cornelius a Lapide, is like that of those bitten with the tarantula in Appulia, who leap, and leaping die. (Contrast Psalms 40:8, "I delight to do thy will, O my God.") The godly grieve bitterly, like Peter, when they are overtaken in a fault.
