Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

29. far . wicked-in His love and favor (Ps 22:11; 119:155).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

15:29. God sets himself at a distance from those who set him at defiance. 30. How delightful to the humbled soul to hear the good report of salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ! 31. Faithful, friendly reproofs help spiritual life, and lead to eternal life. 32. Sinners undervalue their own souls; therefore they prefer the body before the soul, and wrong the soul to please the body. 33. The fear of the Lord will dispose us to search the Scriptures with reverence; and it will cause us to follow the leadings of the Holy Spirit. While we humbly place all our dependence on the grace of God, we are exalted in the righteousness of Christ.


Psalm 18:41 They cried for help, but there was none to save, Even to the LORD, but He did not answer them.
Psalm 145:18 The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.
Psalm 145:19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will save them.
