‏ Proverbs 28:4

Praising the Wicked or Opposing Sin

This proverb shows the difference between people who ignore God's law and those who follow it. When people praise or support those who do wrong, it proves they have turned away from what is right. They help each other continue in sin and make evil seem acceptable. But those who truly care about God's law will stand against sin. They will speak out against evil, try to stop it, and encourage others to do what is right. Their actions help bring justice and warn others not to follow the wrong path.

v. 4: The Bible says, "They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them" . This means that people who do not care about God's commands will support and encourage those who do evil. But those who obey God's law will fight against sin and try to stop it, helping others to see what is right and just.
