Proverbs 11:31

Pro 11:31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.

Ver. 31. The righteous shall be recompensed, ] i.e., Chastened, afflicted, "judged of the Lord, that they may not be condemned with the world," for their sufferings are not penal, but medicinal or probational; and they have it here in the earth, which is their house of correction, not in hell.

Much more the wicked. ] Nahum 1:9 . Non surget hic afflictio. These shall be totally and finally consumed at once. See Trapp on " 1Pe 4:17 " See Trapp on " 1Pe 4:18 " see also my "Love Tokens," page 69, &c.
