The righteous— The just [Judge] makes exact scrutiny into the house of the wicked, to bring the wicked to punishment. Dr. Grey would read, The righteous prospereth in his house, but wickedness overthroweth the wicked. We have the phrase of the first hemistich, in 1 Samuel 18:14 and the second is almost the same as ch. Proverbs 13:6.
