For the perverse is an abomination to Jehovah; But his friendship is with the upright.
For the froward is abomination to the Lord,.... The perverse man, that pleases not God, and is contrary to all men, as the Jews were; one froward in his words and actions: "who transgresses the law", as the Arabic version renders it; one that acts contrary to the nature, will, and word of God; and such an one is not only abominable in his sight...
The envious man fixes his gaze on the violent person's feared authority and growing power, but must not desire them or take pleasure in his conduct, which is reprehensible in all respects. The perverse man who swerves into crooked ways is abhorred by God; the upright alone dwells in His counsel.
