SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:29
¶ Lejos está el SEÑOR de los impíos; mas él oye la oración de los justos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 15:29
Verse 29. The Lord is far from the wicked ] He is neither near to hear, nor near to help.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. The Lord [is] far from the wicked , etc.] Not as to his essence or powerful presence, which is everywhere, for he is God omnipresent; but with respect to his favour and good will, he is far from helping in distress, and from hearing their cries when they apply unto him in desperate circumstances; nor does he admit them to nearness and communion with him now, as he does the righteous; nor will he receive them to himself at the last day, but bid them depart from him; they are far from him and from his law, and from all righteousness; and he is far from them, and keeps them at a distance from him; but he heareth the prayer of the righteous ; they draw nigh to him, and he draws nigh to them; he is nigh to all that call upon him in truth; and there is none like them that has God so nigh them as they have; his eyes are upon them, and his ears are open to their cries; he is a God hearing and answering their prayers, and bestows upon them the favours they ask for, and stand in need of.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 29 - God sets himself at a distance from those who set him at defiance.
