Commentary on Proverbs 10:29

Theological / Devotional

Strength. Heb. ma'oz, "a place of refuge," or "a means of refuge." The way of the Lord forms a sure defense around those who serve Him (see Ps. 91 cf. Job 1:10). God foresees every attack of the enemy upon the righteous, and is able to counter each move, so as to bring victory to the righteous. The obdurate workers of iniquity forfeit God's protection, and, deprived of their defense, are destroyed.
