Proverbs 10:28

Compare all

26 As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
So is the lazy man to those who send him.

27 ^aThe fear of the Lord prolongs days,
But ^bthe years of the wicked will be shortened.

28 The hope of the righteous will be gladness,
But the ^aexpectation of the wicked will perish.

29 The way of the Lord is strength for the upright,
But ^adestruction will come to the workers of iniquity.

30 ^aThe righteous will never be removed,
But the wicked will not inhabit the¹ earth.

Proverbs 10:28

The expectation of the wicked shall perish - A wicked man is always imposing on himself by the hope of God' s mercy and final happiness; and he continues hoping, till he dies without receiving that mercy which alone would entitle him to that glory.
