Commentary on Proverbs 15:9 (Summary)

Proverbs 15:9 (ESV)

9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but he loves him who pursues righteousness.

Psalm 1 is a beautiful exposition of this proverb. The Lord Jesus also promises that they who “hunger and thirst for righteousness” will be satisfied (Matthew 5:6; cf. Matthew 6:33).
