EXPLANATION

Verse 3. Unto hatred. That is, hateful to God ( Challoner.) and man; ( Bible.) or that he may be able to hurt, as Hebrew also may insinuate. Bert.—Septuagint “to find and hate his iniquity.” But he acts not with sincerity. He wishes to defend his evil ways. Saint Augustine and so forth—He still flatters himself with impunity. Psalms 9:25 or 9:32. To find, often means to punish. Genesis 44:16. and so forth Calmet.—God frequently abandons those who sin through malice. Worthington.
