Proverbs 24:20 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

For there shall be no reward to the evil [man]; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

Ver. 20. For there shall be no reward.] He shall suffer both pain of loss, and pain of sense, which whether is the more grievous, is hard to determine. Sure it is, that the tears of hell are not sufficient to bewail the loss of heaven; their worm of grief gnaws as painfully as their fire burns. "Depart from me, ye cursed," sounds as harsh in their ears as that which follows, "into everlasting flames."
