John Trapp on Proverbs 14:9

Verſ. 9. Fools make a mock of ſin] A ſport or paſtime of it, Prov. 10.23. (See the Note there) they dance with the Devil all day, and yet think to ſup with Chriſt. But what ſaith the Heathen Hiſtorian, Nae illi falſi ſunt qui diverſiſſim as res expectant, ignaviae voluptatem, & praemia virtutis. In good truth they are utterly out, that take their ſwinge in ſin, and yet look for the reward of vertue. No, their ſweet meat muſt have ſowr ſawce. God alſo will laugh at their deſtruction, and mock when their fear commeth: And then they all ſhall bee damned that had pleaſure in unrighteouſneſs, 2 Theſſ. 2.12. yea double-damned, becauſe they jeared, when they ſhould have feared, 2 Pet. 2.13.

But among the righteous there is favour] That, though they ſin of infirmity, yet for as much as they are ſenſible and ſorrowful for their failings, and ſee them to confeſſion, God will never ſee them to their confuſion. Homo agnoſcit, Deus ignoſcit, Man repenteth, and God remitteth; yea, hee compaſſeth his returning people with favour as with a ſhield, hee re-accepts them with all ſweetneſs through Chriſt, who is the propitiation for their ſins, 1 Joh. 2.2.
