Proverbs 24:19,20 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Fret not thyself because of evil men For their present impunity, or good success. For there shall be no reward to the evil man All his hopes and happiness shall quickly and eternally perish, and he shall have no share in those solid felicities, and blessed recompenses of another life, which thou shalt enjoy. Therefore thou hast no reason to envy him. The candle of the wicked shall be put out All their comfort and glory shall cease.

Proverbs 24:19-20

19 Fretb not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;

20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candlec of the wicked shall be put out.
