Proverbs 21:27

Verse 27

27. The sacrifice of the wicked The ceremonial worship in general, (compare Proverbs 15:8,) which is performed without any purpose to amend their lives.

With a wicked mind When he has some evil design in the very act itself. Men sometimes join in worship to better their worldly fortunes, to secure trade or office, or for other selfish and even dishonest purposes. It is all “abomination.” Comp Proverbs 15:8; Psalms 50:9; Isaiah 66:3; Jeremiah 6:20; Amos 5:22. The latter clause would probably express the idea better thus: “Because he brings it with an evil purpose; a calculated purpose.” Miller.
