Proverbs 11:23 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The desire of the righteous is only good “The righteous desire nothing, but that it may be well with all men; but the wicked wish for trouble and disturbance to all others but themselves, that they may execute their malice and wrath upon those whom they hate.” Bishop Patrick. Or, rather, the meaning is, the desires and expectations of the righteous shall end in their good and happiness, but the desires and expectations of the wicked shall be disappointed, and end in the wrath of God.

Proverbs 11:23

23 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
