Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 15:29

29 The LORD is far from the wicked , but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

To wit, when they pray to him, as the next clause explains, and therefore doth not hear nor regard them, as he is said to be nigh to the righteous, Psal. 34. 18. & 145. 18. But this farness or nearness respecteth not Gods Essence, which is every where, but his gracious and helpful presence.
