Proverbs 21:15 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

It is joy to the just: the sense is either,

1. He is highly pleased and delighted with it. Or,

2. He reapeth much comfort and benefit by it, which is opposed to the following destruction: joy is put for matter or cause of joy. To do judgment; to do what is just or good, for this is opposed to working of iniquity. Destruction; or, as others render it, terror or horror, opposite to joy.

Proverbs 21:15

15 It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
