PRO 14

Proverbs 14:32

WEB

The wicked is brought down in his calamity, but in death, the righteous has a refuge.

BSB

The wicked man is thrown down by his own sin, but the righteous man has a refuge even in death.

KJV

The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.

Matthew Henry

Verse 32

Proverbs 14:32

Here is, 1. The desperate condition of a wicked man when he goes out of the world: He is driven away in his wickedness. He cleaves so closely to the world that he cannot find in his heart to leave it, but is driven away out of it; his soul is required, is forced from him, And sin cleaves so closely to him that it is inseparable; it goes with him into another world; he is driven away in his wickedness, dies in his sins, under the guilt and power of them, unjustified, unsanctified. His wickedness is the storm in which he is hurried away, as chaff before the wind, chased out of the world. 2. The comfortable condition of a godly man when he finishes his course: He has hope in his death of a happiness on the other side death, of better things in another world than ever he had in this. The righteous then have the grace of hope in them; though they have pain, and some dread of death, yet they have hope. They have before them the good hoped for, even the blessed hope which God, who cannot lie, has promised.
