“They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.”
Proverbs 28:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 28:4
Those who forsake God's law 'praise the wicked,' but those who keep it 'contend with them.' The Hebrew 'azab torah' (forsake law) and 'shamar torah' (keep law) create moral antithesis. Abandoning God's standards leads to celebrating wickedness; upholding them requires opposing evil. Reformed theology affirms the law's continuing role in revealing sin and guiding righteousness. Cultural accommodation always begins with forsaking God's Word. Standing for biblical truth inevitably means contending against wickedness. Neutrality is impossible.
