Proverbs 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.

Proverbs 1:31 In-Context

29 eo quod exosam habuerint disciplinam et timorem Domini non susceperint
30 nec adquieverint consilio meo et detraxerint universae correptioni meae
31 comedent igitur fructus viae suae suisque consiliis saturabuntur
32 aversio parvulorum interficiet eos et prosperitas stultorum perdet illos
33 qui autem me audierit absque terrore requiescet et abundantia perfruetur malorum timore sublato
