Spreuken 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.

Spreuken 1:31 In-Context

29 Daarom, dat zij de wetenschap gehaat hebben, en de vreze des HEEREN niet hebben verkoren.
30 Zij hebben in Mijn raad niet bewilligd; al Mijn bestraffingen hebben zij versmaad;
31 Zo zullen zij eten van de vrucht van hun weg, en zich verzadigen met hun raadslagen.
32 Want de afkering der slechten zal hen doden, en de voorspoed der zotten zal hen verderven.
33 Maar die naar Mij hoort, zal zeker wonen, en hij zal gerust zijn van de vreze des kwaads.
