Proverbes 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.

Proverbes 1:31 In-Context

29 Parce qu'ils ont haï la science, et qu'ils n'ont point choisi la crainte de l'Éternel.

30 Ils n'ont point pris plaisir à mon conseil; ils ont dédaigné toutes mes réprimandes.

31 Qu'ils mangent donc le fruit de leur voie, et qu'ils se rassasient de leurs conseils.

32 Car l'égarement des sots les tue, et la sécurité des insensés les perd.

33 Mais celui qui m'écoute, habitera en sûreté, et sera tranquille, sans être effrayé d'aucun mal.
