Spreuken 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 ) .

F18 (twbrb) "dominantibus impiis"; some in Mercerus; "quum praesunt impii", Tigurine version.

Spreuken 29:16 In-Context

14 Een koning, die de armen in trouw recht doet, diens troon zal in eeuwigheid bevestigd worden.
15 De roede, en de bestraffing geeft wijsheid; maar een kind, dat aan zichzelf gelaten is, beschaamt zijn moeder.
16 Als de goddelozen velen worden, wordt de overtreding veel; maar de rechtvaardigen zullen hun val aanzien.
17 Tuchtig uw zoon, en hij zal u gerustheid aandoen, en hij zal uw ziel vermakelijkheden geven.
18 Als er geen profetie is, wordt het volk ontbloot; maar welgelukzalig is hij, die de wet bewaart.
