Proverbs 3:33

Pro 3:33 The curse of the LORD [is] in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

Ver. 33. In the house of the wicked. ] His wife, children, family, possessions, all are accursed; his fine clothes have the plague in them: or his house, which is his castle, the flying roll of curses - that is, ten yards long and five yards broad - shall remain in the midst of it, and consume it. Zec 5:4

But he blesseth the habitation of the just. ] " Kabvenaki, " casam exponit et tuguriolum egregio sensu, saith Mercer. The poor little cottage or tenement of the righteous, there is a blessing in it, there is contented godliness, which is greatest gain; the blessing of God which maketh rich. Eνθα και οι θεοι , Here are the gods - could the philosopher say of his poor habitation, meaning his heathenish household gods - whatever else is wanting to me. How much more may a saint say so of his God, who will "awake for him, and make the habitation of his righteousness prosperous!" Job 8:6
