Proverbi 2:14 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 2:14

Who rejoice to do evil
At the doing of it, or when they have done it; they are glad of an opportunity of doing mischief, and glory when they have done it; it is a sport and pastime to them, ( Proverbs 10:2 ) ; they take pleasure in the act of sin, and have no remorse of conscience afterwards; they speak of it in an exulting manner, and boast of it, and glory in their shame; [and] delight in the frowardness of the wicked:
of the wicked man, as Aben Ezra and Gersom supply it; in the perversities and contradictions of every wicked man; they not only take pleasure in their own sins, but in the sins of others, and in them that commit them; which is an aggravation of their wickedness, ( Romans 1:32 ) ; they delight to hear a man speak froward and perverse things; things against God, and Christ, and religion, against all good men, and everything that is good; against the Gospel, the doctrines and ordinances of it; and they delight to see him do things perverse and contrary to the will of God. The Vulgate Latin version renders it, "they exult in the worst things".

Proverbi 2:14 In-Context

12 Per liberarti dalla via malvagia, Dagli uomini che parlano di cose perverse;

13 I quali lasciano i sentieri della dirittura, Per camminar per le vie delle tenebre;

14 I quali si rallegrano di far male, E festeggiano nelle perversità di malizia;

15 I quali son torti nelle lor vie, E traviati ne’ lor sentieri.

16 Per iscamparti ancora dalla donna straniera; Dalla forestiera che parla vezzosamente;
