Proverbs 2:14

Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
– Proverbs 2:14

The way of the evil man is a rejoicing to do evil. He delights in it and finds pleasure in the wrongs done. This rejoicing may cover a wide range from sadistic pleasure all the way to the foolish pleasure of a hardened conscience. He finds no joy in the truth and no pleasure in the divine wisdom. He delights in doing evil and in the perversity of others. Frowardness is a perversity or a corrupting of good. When he finds so much amusement in his evil way, it is no wonder that he sells his way to others as a path to happiness and fun. Again, wisdom will keep us from this wicked way.
