Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed on the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 11:31 Go To Proverbs 11
Bede
AD 735
“If the righteous receives [retribution] on earth, how much more the wicked and sinner?” This is to say clearly, “If the frailty of mortal life is so great that not even the righteous who are to be crowned in heaven pass through this life without tribulations on account of the countless slips of [our] flawed nature, how much more do those who are cut off from heavenly grace await the certain outcome of their everlasting damnation?
