Proverbs 11:4 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The day of wrath - Words true in their highest sense of the great “diesirae” of the future, but spoken in the first instance (compare Zephaniah 1:15-18) of any “day of the Lord,” any time of judgment, when men or nations receive the chastisement of their sins. At such a time “riches profit not.”

Proverbs 11:4

4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.
