Proverbi 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.

Proverbi 1:31 In-Context

29 Perciocchè hanno odiata la scienza, E non hanno eletto il timor del Signore;

30 E non hanno gradito il mio consiglio, Ed hanno disdegnata ogni mia correzione.

31 Perciò mangeranno del frutto delle lor vie, E saranno saziati de’ lor consigli.

32 Perciocchè lo sviamento degli scempi li uccide, E l’error degli stolti li fa perire.

33 Ma chi mi ascolta abiterà in sicurtà, E viverà in riposo, fuor di spavento di male.
