Proverbs 24:18

Pro 24:18 Lest the LORD see [it], and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

Ver. 18. Lest the Lord see it, ] viz., Thy pride and cruelty, as he will, for he is ολοφθαλμος , all eye, and εχει Yεος εκδικον ομμα , if he see, he will kindle and turn the wheel upon thee, as he threatened to do upon Edom, for looking with liking upon Israel’s calamity. For prevention hereof, think thus with thyself, Either I am like mine enemy, or else I am better or worse than he. If like him, why may not I look for the like misery? If better, who made me to differ? If worse, what reason then have I to insult? See Obadiah 1:12 .
