The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.
The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. The abode of the wicked, though a "house," and though large, apparently flourishing, and in their own opinion destined to "continue forever" (Psalms 49:11), "shall be overthrown:" whereas "the tabernacle of the upright," though apparently small, weak, and humble, "shall flourish." Let us not be misled or perplexed by the external prosperity of the godless, (Psalms 37:1-40.)
