Proverbs 10:7 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot. The memory of the just is blessed - Or, is a blessing.

But the name of the wicked shall rot - This is another antithesis; but there are only two antithetic terms, for memory and name are synonymous - Lowth. The very name of the wicked is as offensive as putrid carrion.
