Errors Of Praise And Blessings

...ὅτι ἐπαινεῖται ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς ἐν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ ἀδικῶν ἐνευλογεῖτα... Καὶ μάλιστα οἱ θείου πλούτου καὶ σοφίας στερούμενοι, και μὴ ἀκριβεῖς ὄντες περὶ τὰ δόψματα τῆς εὐσεβείας. Οὗτοι γὰρ τοῖς τῆς σοφῆς προνοίας προσκόπτουσιν κρίμασιν, ἐπαινοῦντες τὸν ἁμαρτωλὸν ἐφ' οἷς ἐπιθυμεῖ· φανεροῦ ὄντος ὡς οὐ τῶν αἱρετῶν, ἀλλὰ τῶν ἡδέων καὶ ἐμπαθῶν ὀρέγεται ὁ ἁμαρτωλός. Πρὸς τούτοις, ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ σφάλματος εὐλογίαν ἠγοῦνται τοὺς πλοῦτον καὶ δόξαν ἀνθρωπίνην καὶ πρόσκαιρον ἔχοντας, φάσκοντες τούς ἀδικοῦντας πρὸς Θεοῦ εὐλογεῖσθαι· ἔδει δὲ τοπάσαι ὡς ἡ τοῦ Θεοῦ εὐλογία δίδοται δικαίοις.

...For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul and the unrighteous man is blessed... 1 And especially by those lacking the wealth and wisdom of God, who do not hold accurately to the holy teachings. For they err in the judgements of wise providence who praise the sinner in his desire, when it is not his choice, but the sinner is driven by pleasure and passion. And these, by the same error, deem temporal wealth and human glory a blessing, whence they call the unrighteous man blessed by God, since they must admit that the blessings of God are given to the righteous. Didymus the Blind, Commentary on The Psalms, from Psalm 9 1 Ps 9.24
