The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow - whom "the proud" had driven from the border of her possession. The moving of the landmark is specially forbidden (Deuteronomy 19:14). The proud, by oppression, build a strong "house," or family, which they are confident will never be overthrown. The widow (Hebrew, 'almaanaah (H490), from 'aalam (H481), to be mute, or powerless against adversaries) seems to the proud a prey that can offer no resistance. But God will destroy the seemingly strong "house" of the proud; and will protect not only the house, but even the extreme "border" of the widow.
