Proverbs 13:15

"Good understanding giveth favor; But the way of the transgressor is hard."

There are two views of this passage. The way of the transgressor may be interpreted as in the RSV, "The way of the faithless is their ruin," or it may be referred to the way of the transgressor's behavior, his manner, as in this: "The manners of rogues are rough."[23] We prefer the interpretation that views the earthly life of every transgressor as encompassing many sorrows and misfortunes.
