Proverbios 1:31 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 1:31

Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way
Their evil ways; be punished according to their deserts, and receive the just reward of their iniquities; see ( Isaiah 3:10 Isaiah 3:11 ) ; and be filled with their own devices;
or "counsels" ^F7: their device and counsel was to put Christ to death; to deliver him to the Roman governor, that he might be crucified, as he was: and they afterwards had their bellyful of crucifixion, as the word ^F8 used signifies; such vast numbers of them were crucified by the Romans before the walls of the city, five hundred a day, and sometimes more; insomuch that room was needed for crosses, and crosses for bodies ^F9.

Proverbios 1:31 In-Context

29 Pues odiaron el conocimiento
y decidieron no temer al Señor
.

30 Rechazaron mi consejo
y no prestaron atención cuando los corregía.

31 Por lo tanto, tendrán que comer el fruto amargo de vivir a su manera
y se ahogarán con sus propias intrigas.

32 Pues los simplones se apartan de mí hacia la muerte.
Los necios son destruidos por su despreocupación.

33 En cambio, todos los que me escuchan vivirán en paz,
tranquilos y sin temor del mal».
