Proverbs 15:6 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.

In the house of the righteous (is) much treasure - (Hebrew, chosen,) literally, strength, wealth: being regarded by men as their strength. Here it is wealth secured permanently to the righteous, in contrast to the trouble that is in the revenues of the wicked.

Trouble that is in the revenues of the wicked - i:e., the overthrow of their revenues, which is speedily coming, and of which the germ is therein already.
