Proverbs 16:4
_ _ for himself — “for its answer,” or “purpose,” that is, according to God’s plan; the wicked are for the day of evil (Psalms 49:5; Jeremiah 17:18); sinning and suffering answer to each other, are indissolubly united. |
Proverbs 16:4
_ _ Note, 1. That God is the first cause. He is the former of all things and all persons, the fountain of being; he gave every creature the being it has and appointed it its place. Even the wicked are his creatures, though they are rebels; he gave them those powers with which they fight against him, which aggravates their wickedness, that they will not let him that made them rule them, and therefore, though he made them, he will not save them. 2. That God is the last end. All is of him and from him, and therefore all is to him and for him. He made all according to his will and for his praise; he designed to serve his own purposes by all his creatures, and he will not fail of his designs; all are his servants. The wicked he is not glorified by, but he will be glorified upon. He makes no man wicked, but he made those who he foresaw would be wicked: yet he made them (Genesis 6:6), because he knew how to get himself honour upon them. See Romans 9:22. Or (as some understand it) he made the wicked to be employed by him as the instruments of his wrath in the day of evil, when he brings judgments on the world. He makes some use even of wicked men, as of other things, to be his sword, his hand (Psalms 17:13, Psalms 17:14), flagellum Dei — the scourge of God. The king of Babylon is called his servant. |
Proverbs 16:4
Doth work — He orders or disposes. For — For his own glory; for the discovery of his wisdom, power, goodness, truth, justice. The wicked — Wilful and impenitent sinners. Men make themselves wicked, and God therefore makes them miserable. |
Proverbs 16:4
The LORD hath made all [things] for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of (c) evil.
