“Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;”
Proverbs 2:14 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 2:14
This verse reveals the psychological corruption of the wicked - they don't merely tolerate evil but actively rejoice in it. The Hebrew 'sameach' (rejoice) indicates celebration and delight. When sin progresses from temptation to action to celebration, it evidences complete moral inversion. What should produce shame instead produces pleasure, demonstrating how sin hardens the conscience and perverts natural moral intuitions.
