Proverbs 11:21 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Though hand join in hand; though they are fortified against God's judgments by a numerous issue, and kindred, and friends, and by mutual strong combinations or confederacies. Shall not be unpunished; they shall be punished even in their own persons, as well as in their posterity. They shall not be able either totally to prevent God's judgment, or to delay it from coming in their days. The seed of the righteous, not only their persons, but their children, shall be delivered, without any such auxiliaries, by God's special providence.

Proverbs 11:21

21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
