Verse Takeaways

God Opposes Legalized Evil

Commentators explain that the "throne of iniquity" refers to corrupt governments or authorities who use their power to make evil legal. The phrase "frameth mischief by a law" means they create official statutes to oppress people and promote sin. The verse powerfully declares that God has no "fellowship" or partnership with such systems.
