Proverbs 2:21 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.

For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it - in contrast to the faithless, who go "unto the dead" (Proverbs 2:18-19). The temporal rewards of piety in the Old Testament dispensation shadow forth both the millennial rewards of it here on earth in the coming age, and also the eternal rewards in the final state (Psalms 25:13; Psalms 37:9; Psalms 37:11).
