SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:2

¶ El que camina en su rectitud teme al SEÑOR; mas el pervertido en sus caminos lo menosprecia.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 2. He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord , etc.] It is plain that the fear of the Lord is upon the heart and before the eyes of such that walk according to the word of God, with a sincere desire to glorify him; for it is by the fear of the Lord that men depart from evil, and because of that they cannot do what others do; and therefore when a man walks uprightly, and his conversation is in all holiness and godliness, it shows that the fear of God has a place in his heart, which influences his outward behaviour; but [he that is] perverse in his ways despiseth him ; either God himself, whom the upright walker fears; for he that acts perversely, contrary to the law of God, or transgresses that, and goes out of the way, despises God the lawgiver, tramples upon his authority, stretches out his hand, and commits acts of hostility against him; and he that perverts the Gospel of Christ despises his ministers, and despises Christ himself, and him that sent him. Or else the meaning is, that such a perverse walker despises him that fears the Lord; so Aben Ezra interprets it; and such are generally the contempt of wicked men: to this sense is the Vulgate Latin version, “he that walks in a right way, and fears God, is despised by him that walks in an infamous way;” but the Septuagint and Arabic versions render it, “is despised”: meaning the perverse man.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 2 - Here are grace and sin in their true colours. Those that despise God' precepts and promises, despise God and all his power and mercy.
