Proverbs 10:28

The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. THE HOPE OF THE RIGHTEOUS (SHALL BE) GLADNESS - i:e., shall have a glad and joyful issue. Though they have many blessings now, their chief portion is in "hope" (). BUT THE EXPECTATION OF THE WICKED SHALL PERISH - i:e., shall be disappointed, and so shall bring not "gladness," but eternal mourning....

1 The comfort of parents much depends on their children; and this suggests to both, motives to their duties. Proverbs 10:2; Proverbs 10:3. Though the righteous may be poor, the Lord will not suffer him to want what is needful for spiritual life. Proverbs 10:4. Those who are fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, are likely to be rich in faith, and rich in good works. Proverbs 10:5. Here is just blame of those who trifle away opportunities, both for here and for hereafter. Proverbs 10:6. Abundance of blessings shall abide on good men; real blessings....

Verse Proverbs 10:28. _THE EXPECTATION OF THE WICKED SHALL PERISH._] A wicked man is always imposing on himself by the _hope of God's mercy_ and _final happiness_; and he continues _hoping_, till he dies without receiving that _mercy_ which alone would entitle him to that _glory_....

Transpose “hope” and “expectation.” The expectant waiting of the righteous is joyful at the time, and ends in joy: the eager hope of the wicked comes to nought....

EXPOSITION VERSE 1-22:16 PART III. FIRST GREAT COLLECTION (375) OF SOLOMONIC PROVERBS. VERSE 1-12:28 First section. The sections are noted by their commencing usually with the words, "a wise son." PROVERBS 10:1 THE PROVERBS OF SOLOMON. This is the title of the new part of the book; it is omitted in the Septuagint. There is some kind of loose connection in the grouping of these proverbs, but it is difficult to follow. "Ordo frustra quaeritur ubi nullus fuit observatus," says Mart. Geier. Wordsworth considers the present chapter to contain exemplifications of the principles and results of the two ways of life displayed in the preceding nine chapters. The antitheti

THE HOPE OF THE RIGHTEOUS [SHALL BE] GLADNESS,.... Or, "[is] gladness" w; it is now attended with joy; he has a pleasure in the exercise of the grace of hope as to future things; he rejoices in hope of the glory of God, and is enabled to hold fast the rejoicing of his hope firm unto the end, Romans 5:2; and the issue of his hope will be an abundant entrance into the joy of his Lord; a being brought into his presence, in which is fulness of joy; he is not ashamed of his hope now, and he will not be disappointed hereafter; BUT THE EXPECTATION OF THE WICKED SHALL PERISH; his hope and expectation, either of riches, and honour, and pleasure in this world, or of a long life in it; or of happiness in the other, and of escaping the wrath of God, and the vengeance of eternal fire; all which, being grounded on a wrong bottom, shall be frustrated; see...

II. THE PROVERBS OF SOLOMON: CHAPTER S 10--19:19 Beginning with the tenth chapter we have the collection of proverbs given by inspiration through Solomon. In this section the personal address, “My son,” and the personal exhortations are missing. It will be noticed that each verse in this section contains a proverb, consisting each of two lines, mostly of an antithetic character, except Proverbs 19:7, which has three lines instead of two (a tristich). It is impossible to give a detailed analysis of these Chapter s, nor can we take up each proverb separately for meditation. This must be left to each reader. By comparing Scripture with Scripture, and a prayerful study of these terse sayings, the heavenly wisdom given in these Chapter s can readily be found. There is no end to practical application. Yet even in these Chapter s a certain order is maintained. The contrast in each chap

PROVERBS 10:2 (_cf._ Psalms 3:7). RIGHTEOUSNESS: the growth of the conception of righteousness is an important subject. As in the Pss., there is a specific class the righteous opposed to the wicked. The righteous are generally synonymous with the poor and afflicted remnant, sometimes equivalent to the Hasidim of the Greek period. In general the tendency of the conception of righteousness is towards a specific moral character, rather than towards the fulfilment of legal duties. This is important in view of the implied contrast in the Synoptic Gospels between the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, and such a righteousness as our Lord taught to be the condition of entrance into the kingdom of God (_cf._ Matthe

TEXT Proverbs 10:23-32 23. It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness; And so is wisdom to a man of understanding. 24. The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; And the desire of the righteous shall be granted. 25. When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more; But the righteous is an everlasting foundation. 26. As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, So is the sluggard to them that send him. 27. The fear of Jehovah prolongeth days; But the years of the wicked shall be shortened. 28. The hope of the righteous shall be gladness; But the expectation of the wicked shall perish. 29. The way of Jehovah is a stronghold to the upright; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. 30. The righteous shall never be removed
