An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, but one whose way is straight is an abomination to the wicked.
This expresses not only the innate contrariety that there is between virtue and vice, as between light and darkness, fire and water, but the old enmity that has always been between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent, Gen 3:15. 1. All that are sanctified have a rooted antipathy to wickedness and wicked people.
An unjust man is an abomination to the just,.... Not his person, but his actions, his unrighteous actions, his ungodly life and conversation; which a man, holy, just, and good, loathes and abhors, and cannot forbear expressing his abhorrence of; and therefore shuns his company, and will have no fellowship with him.
(Compare Pro 3:32). On last clause, compare Pro 29:16; Psa 37:12. Next: Proverbs Chapter 30
