Sprueche 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.

Sprueche 1:31 In-Context

29 Darum, daß sie haßten die Lehre und wollten des HERRN Furcht nicht haben,

30 wollten meinen Rat nicht und lästerten alle meine Strafe:

31 so sollen sie essen von den Früchten ihres Wesens und ihres Rats satt werden.

32 Was die Unverständigen gelüstet, tötet sie, und der Ruchlosen Glück bringt sie um.

33 Wer aber mir gehorcht, wird sicher bleiben und genug haben und kein Unglück fürchten.
