Proverbs 15:29 - Exposition

The Lord is far from the wicked. The maxim is similar to that in Proverbs 15:8 and John 9:31 , "We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth." God is said to be "far" in the sense of not listening, not regarding with favour (comp. Psalms 10:1 ). His attention to the righteous is seen in Psalms 145:18 , Psalms 145:19 . The LXX . introduces here Proverbs 16:8 , Proverbs 16:9 .
