Proverbs 17:5
_ _ (Compare Proverbs 14:31).
_ _ glad at calamities — rejoicing in others’ evil. Such are rightly punished by God, who knows their hearts. |
Proverbs 17:5
_ _ See here, 1. What a great sin those are guilty of who trample upon the poor, who ridicule their wants and the meanness of their appearance, upbraid them with their poverty, and take advantage from their weakness to be abusive and injurious to them. They reproach their Maker, put a great contempt and affront upon him, who allotted the poor to the condition they are in, owns them, and takes care of them, and can, when he pleases, reduce us to that condition. Let those that thus reproach their Maker know that they shall be called to an account for it, Matthew 25:40, Matthew 25:41; Proverbs 14:31. 2. What great danger those are in of falling into trouble themselves who are pleased to see and hear of the troubles of others: He that is glad at calamities, that he may be built up upon the ruins of others, and regales himself with the judgments of God when they are abroad, let him know that he shall not go unpunished; the cup shall be put into his hand, Ezekiel 25:6, Ezekiel 25:7. |
