Mishle 19:29 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 19:29

Judgments are prepared for scorners
Either by the civil magistrate, or by the Lord, and indeed by both; and if they miss the one, they will certainly meet the other; though they mock at present punishment and a future judgment, yet everlasting fire is prepared for them, ( Matthew 25:41 ) ; and stripes for the back of fools;
as scorners are; which shall be inflicted on them sooner or later; if they are not stricken with the stripes of men, they shall endure the strokes of divine justice and vengeance hereafter.
