The Untouchable Sinner

Commentators agree that this verse describes a powerful wicked person who seems untouchable. Due to their wealth, status, and influence, no one dares to openly confront them about their evil ways or hold them accountable for their actions. They live with a sense of impunity, above the reproof and justice of other people.
