¶ Abominación es al SEÑOR todo altivo de corazón; el pacto que él haga , no será sin castigo.

Verse 5. Though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. - The day of wrath shall come on the wicked, whatever means he may take to avoid it. See chap. xi. 21.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. Every one [that is] proud in heart [is] an abomination to the Lord , etc.] Though he may dissemble his pride, and not discover it in his looks, by his words and gestures; yet the Lord sees and knows the heart, the naughtiness of it, and the pride that is in it: and only a proud look, but a proud heart, is abominable to him: everyone that is so arrogant as to arraign the decrees of God, and quarrel with him about them, to whom the apostle says, “Nay, but, O man”, O proud vain man, “who art thou, that repliest against God?” ( Romans 9:19-21); every proud Pharisee, that trusts in himself that he is righteous, and despises others, that justifies himself before men, is an abomination in the sight of God, ( Luke 18:9 16:15); particularly antichrist, who has not only a proud look, a look more stout than his fellows, but a proud heart; exalts himself above all that is called God; and not only speaks big words against the most High, but has it in his heart to change times and laws; and proudly imagines he shall always continue in his grandeur and prosperity, ( Daniel 7:25 Thessalonians 2:4 Revelation 18:7); [though] hand [join] in hand, he shall not be unpunished ; though he endeavours with both hands, with all his might and main, to secure himself and prevent his ruin, he shall not be able to do it; though he enters into confederacy with, and calls in the kings of the earth to his assistance, it will be of no avail, both he and they shall be destroyed; or out of hand, immediately, his destruction will come upon him, ( Revelation 16:14,16 18:8 19:19-21); (see Gill on “ Proverbs 11:21”); The Targum is, “from evil he shall not be cleared;” and the Syriac version, “he that stretcheth out his hand against his neighbour shall not be cleared from evil.”
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5 - Though sinners strengthen themselves and one another, they shall no escape God's judgments.
