Does Proverbs 26:4 contradict verse 5?

28:4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

Would this explain a little about how RG and BP were able to work with PL and push the MOTA teaching whereas JI and others contended with WL about PL?

28:5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

Yep, that explains it.

If we agree that the verse "they that forsake the law praise the wicked, but such as keep the law contend with them" is an apt description of how RG and BP praised PL and pushed the MOTA teaching while JI etal contended with them. Then wouldn't the word in Jude warning us about men who had men's person in admiration because of advantage apply to RG, BP, EM, and RK?
