Proverbs 24:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 24:20

18 Lest the Lord see it, and¹ it displease Him,
And He turn away His wrath from him.

19 ^aDo not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the wicked;

20 For there will be no prospect for the evil man;
The lamp of the wicked will be put out.

21 My son, ^afear the Lord and the king;
Do not associate with those given to change;

22 For their calamity will rise suddenly,
And who knows the ruin those two can bring?
