This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
4 They who forsake the law praise the godless;
But they who keep the law become angry with them,
viz. the godless, for רָשָׁע is to be thought of collectively, as at Pro 28:1. They who praise the godless turn away from the revealed word of God (Psa 73:11-15); those, on the contrary, who are true to God's word (Pro 28:18) are aroused against them (vid., regarding גרה, Pro 15:18), they are deeply moved by their conduct, they cannot remain silent and let their wickedness go unpunished; הִתְגָּרָה is zeal (excitement) always expressing itself, passing over into actions (syn. הִתְעוֹרֵר, Job 17:8).
