Proverbs 14:32 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Driven away, to wit, in his death, as is gathered from the opposite clause; driven away from God's favour and presence, and from the society of the just, and from all his hopes of happiness, both in this life and in the next. This expression notes that this is done suddenly, violently, and irresistibly, as the smoke or chaff are driven away by a strong wind. In his wickedness, or, for his wickedness, Heb. in his evil, which may be understood of the evil of punishment; in the day of his calamity, when he shall flee to God for help. Hath hope of deliverance from it, or of great and everlasting advantage by it. In his death; in his greatest dangers and distresses, yea, even in death itself, which therefore he can receive with comfort and confidence.

Proverbs 14:32

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