In this verse, the wicked express their disdain for the righteous, viewing them as inferior or contemptible. The righteous person, by living a life that avoids sin and seeks purity, stands in stark contrast to those who embrace wrongdoing. This difference in lifestyle and values creates tension, as the righteous person does not conform to the ways of the wicked. Instead, the righteous find joy and hope in their relationship with God, whom they confidently call their Father. This relationship is a source of strength and assurance, leading them to believe that their ultimate end will be a happy one. The wicked, unable to understand this faith and hope, perceive it as arrogance or boasting. This verse encourages believers to remain steadfast in their faith, trusting in God's promises and finding peace in the assurance of His fatherly care. It also serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by those who choose to live righteously in a world that often opposes such values.
We are considered by him as something base, and he avoids our ways as unclean; he calls the last end of the righteous happy and boasts that God is his father.
