Proverbs 11:7
_ _ expectation ... perish — for death cuts short all his plans (Luke 16:25).
_ _ hope of unjust — better, “hope of wealth,” or “power” (compare Isaiah 40:29, Hebrew). This gives an advance on the sentiment of the first clause. Even hopes of gain die with him. |
Proverbs 11:7
_ _ Note, 1. Even wicked men, while they live, may keep up a confident expectation of a happiness when they die, or at least a happiness in this world. The hypocrite has his hope, in which he wraps himself as the spider in her web. The worldling expects great matters from his wealth; he calls it goods laid up for many years, and hopes to take his ease in it and to be merry; but in death their expectation will be frustrated: the worldling must leave this world which he expected to continue in and the hypocrite will come short of that world which he expected to remove to, Job 27:8. 2. It will be the great aggravation of the misery of wicked people that their hopes will sink into despair just when they expect them to be crowned with fruition. When a godly man dies his expectations are out-done, and all his fears vanish; but when a wicked man dies his expectations are dashed, dashed to pieces; in that very day his thoughts perish with which he had pleased himself, his hopes vanish. |
