16 Quando gli empi crescono, cresce il misfatto; Ma i giusti vedranno la ruina di quelli.

Proverbi 29:16 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 29:16

When the wicked are multiplied
Or "are in authority" {r}; as the word is rendered, ( Proverbs 29:2 ) ; transgression increaseth;
among the common people, being encouraged by their wicked rulers, whose examples they follow; or as the wicked themselves increase, in numbers, in age, in power, and riches, their sins increase too; but the righteous shall see their fall,
from their places of authority and power, of honour, riches, and grandeur, into a low and despicable condition, into ruin and destruction; and that with pleasure, because of the glory of God, his wisdom, justice, truth, and faithfulness, displayed therein; see ( Psalms 58:10 ) .

Proverbi 29:16 In-Context

14 Il trono del re, che fa ragione a’ miseri in verità, Sarà stabilito in perpetuo.
15 La verga e la correzione dànno sapienza; Ma il fanciullo lasciato in abbandono fa vergogna a sua madre.
16 Quando gli empi crescono, cresce il misfatto; Ma i giusti vedranno la ruina di quelli.
17 Gastiga il tuo figliuolo, e tu ne sarai in riposo; Ed egli darà di gran diletti all’anima tua.
18 Quando non vi è visione, il popolo è dissipato; Ma beato chi guarda la Legge.
