Proverbs 10:24
_ _ it — the very thing. The wicked get dreaded evil; the righteous, desired good. |
Proverbs 10:24-25
_ _ It is here said, and said again, to the righteous, that it shall be well with them, and to the wicked, Woe to them; and these are set the one over against the other, for their mutual illustration.
_ _ I. It shall be as ill with the wicked as they can fear, and as well with the righteous as they can desire. 1. The wicked, it is true, buoy themselves up sometimes in their wickedness with vain hopes which will deceive them, but at other times they cannot but be haunted with just fears, and those fears shall come upon them; the God they provoke will be every whit as terrible as they, when they are under their greatest damps, apprehend him to be. As is thy fear, so is thy wrath, Psalms 90:11. Wicked men fear the punishment of sin, but they have not wisdom to improve their fears by making their escape, and so the thing they feared comes upon them, and their present terrors are earnests of their future torments. 2. The righteous, it is true, sometimes have their fears, but their desire is towards the favour of God and a happiness in him, and that desire shall be granted. According to their faith, not according to their fear, it shall be unto them, Psalms 37:4.
_ _ II. The prosperity of the wicked shall quickly end, but the happiness of the righteous shall never end, Proverbs 10:25. The wicked make a great noise, hurry themselves and others, like a whirlwind, which threatens to bear down all before it; but, like a whirlwind, they are presently gone, and they pass irrecoverably; they are no more; all about them are quiet and glad when the storm is over, Psalms 37:10, Psalms 37:36; Job 20:5. The righteous, on the contrary, make no show; they lie hid, like a foundation, which is low and out of sight, but they are fixed in their resolution to cleave to God, established in virtue, and they shall be an everlasting foundation, immovably good. He that is holy shall be holy still and immovably happy; his hope is built on a rock, and therefore not shocked by the storm, Matthew 7:24. The righteous is the pillar of the world (so some read it); the world stands for their sakes; the holy seed is the substance thereof. |
- fear:
Job 3:25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
Job 15:21 A dreadful sound [is] in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
Hebrews 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Psalms 21:2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
Psalms 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Psalms 145:19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
Matthew 5:6 Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

1 John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: ... And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
