Proverbs 12:21 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. There shall no evil happen to the just - No, for all things work together for good to them that love God. Whatever occurs to a righteous man God turns to his advantage. But, on the other hand, the wicked are filled with mischief: they are hurt, grieved, and wounded, by every occurrence; and nothing turns to their profit.
