Proverbs 29:27 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

An unjust man is an abomination to the just (because the unjust is an abomination to the God of the just, Psalms 15:4);

And (he that is) upright in the way (is) abomination to the wicked. Mutual enmity from the first has subsisted between the woman's seed and the serpent's seed (Proverbs 29:10; Genesis 3:15; Psalms 139:21-22). There is, however, this difference: the upright abominate the sin, but love the person of the sinner; the wicked abominate alike the ways and the persons of the upright.

27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
