Proverbs 12:7 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.

The wicked are overthrown (Hebrew, Infinitive for the Indicative present), and are not - (Proverbs 10:25.)

But the house of the righteous shall stand. Even here on earth a blessing attends the family or "house" of the righteous (cf. 2 Samuel 7:11; Exodus 1:21). Evil overtakes the wicked or his "house" soon or late.
