The Guilty Party's Defense
Commentators highlight a timeless human tendency in this verse: the person who is in the wrong is often the first to reject peacemaking and accountability. As Albert Barnes notes, when someone rejects friendly intervention with anger, it's strong evidence they know they are at fault. This principle applies to personal conflicts and even humanity's relationship with God.
