A good man obtaineth favor of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
– Proverbs 12:2
The
good man is contrasted with the
man of wicked devices. The word for
wicked devices means a plan or scheme. God often subjects such to their own plans (Proverbs 1:31). The word for
good is good in the greatest sense, so all kinds of good. The word for
favor refers to delight and goodwill. Elsewhere, the one who finds wisdom receives the goodwill of the Lord (Proverbs 8:35).
