Tyler Wolfe Interpretation:
Symbolic of causing someone to sin, Matt. 16:23
ways of God that hinder transgressors (see Hosea 14:9); obstacles (see Hosea 14:9; Romans 14:13, 21); things of the world that cause you to make wrong decisions; hindrances, e.g., anger, offense, negative thinking, sins (see Hosea 14:1-2; Matthew 18:7-10; John 11:9; Romans 14:13-23; Jude 24); someone/something the enemy is using to cause you to make bad choices (see Matthew 4:6; 13:41; 16:23).
