Proverbs 29:18, 25, 27
18 Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law. 25 The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe. 27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, And he who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.

If we do not see what God has revealed to us, opening our eyes through those He chose to hear and write all down in a Book, then we will do whatever we want to without restraint of good or evil. But when we listen to Him and do all He says, then we find joy. However, we who do the right thing find those not seeing to find us contemptible - even though it is right. This is the root of sin - hating what God calls good, and loving what He reveals to be evil. Sin is not happy, but empty.
