Spreuken 24:22 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 24:22

For their calamity shall rise suddenly
And come upon those that fear not God, and rebel against the king and the state, and innovate in matters of religion; and especially that bring in damnable heresies, and, while they cry Peace, peace, and are pleasing themselves with their new schemes and prosperous success, swift and sudden destruction comes upon them, ( 2 Peter 2:1 ) ( 1 Thessalonians 5:3 ) ; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
of those that fear not the Lord, nor the king; or of those who are given to change, and innovate in things civil and religious; and of those who meddle with them and join themselves to them: the ruin of themselves and families, in a civil sense, is great and inexpressible, who rebel against their prince, and endeavour to change and subvert the present government; and the ruin of the souls of men, both of the deceivers and the deceived, is beyond all conception and expression.

Spreuken 24:22 In-Context

20 Want de kwade zal geen beloning hebben, de lamp der goddelozen zal uitgeblust worden.

21 Mijn zoon! vrees den HEERE en den koning; vermeng u niet met hen, die naar verandering staan;

22 Want hun verderf zal haastelijk ontstaan; en wie weet hun beider ondergang?

23 Deze spreuken zijn ook van de wijzen. Het aangezicht in het gericht te kennen, is niet goed.

24 Die tot den goddeloze zegt: Gij zijt rechtvaardig; dien zullen de volken vervloeken, de natien zullen hem gram zijn.
