PRO 14

Proverbs 14:11

WEB

The house of the wicked will be overthrown, but the tent of the upright will flourish.

BSB

The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.

KJV

The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.

Matthew Henry

Verse 11

Proverbs 14:11

Note, 1. Sin is the ruin of great families: The house of the wicked, though built ever so strong and high, shall be overthrown, shall be brought to poverty and disgrace, and at length be extinct. His hope for heaven, the house on which he leans, shall not stand, but fail in the storm; the deluge that comes will sweep it away. 2. Righteousness is the rise and stability even of mean families: Even the tabernacle of the upright, though movable and despicable as a tent, shall flourish, in outward prosperity if Infinite Wisdom see good, at all events in graces and comfort, which are true riches and honours.
