Proverbs 12:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 12:2
A good man obtains favor from YHWH, but a man of wicked devices He will condemn. Divine favor (ratson - acceptance, delight) comes to the good; divine condemnation (rasha - declare wicked, condemn) comes to the deviser of evil schemes. This verse presents God as moral arbiter rewarding good and punishing evil. Such divine response grounds ethics - conduct matters because it affects God's disposition toward us.
