PRO 12

Proverbs 12:7

WEB

The wicked are overthrown, and are no more, but the house of the righteous shall stand.

BSB

The wicked are overthrown and perish, but the house of the righteous will stand.

KJV

The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.

Matthew Henry

Verse 7

Proverbs 12:7

We are here taught as before (Pro 12:3 and Pro 10:25, Pro 10:30), 1. That the triumphing of the wicked is short. They may be exalted for a while, but in a little time they are overthrown and are not; their trouble proves their overthrow, and those who made a great show disappear, and their place knows them no more. Turn the wicked, and they are not; they stand in such a slippery place that the least touch of trouble brings them down, like the apples of Sodom, which look fair, but touch them and they go to dust. 2. That the prosperity of the righteous has a good bottom and will endure. Death will remove them, but their house shall stand, their families shall be kept up, and the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
