Commentary on Proverbs 11:20
They that are of a froward heart are abomination to YHWH, but such as are upright in their way are His delight. God's emotional response to humans depends on their moral character - perverse hearts provoke His abhorrence; upright conduct brings His delight. This verse grounds ethics in theology - morality matters because it affects God's disposition toward us. Divine delight or disgust depends on human righteousness or wickedness.
