Proverbs 14:14

Here, Solomon compares a good man with a man who turns away from God.

A good man receives good things, because he deserves good things. An evil man receives evil things, because he deserves evil things.

The man who turns away from God used to be a good man. He turned back to do evil deeds. He too will receive what he deserves. See 2 Timothy 4:14; Jude 5:6, and Hebrews 10:26-31. ‘But we are not the people that turn back. God will not destroy us. We are the people who believe in God. Therefore, God will protect us.’ (Hebrews 10:39)
