Commentary on Proverbs 10:7

Theological / Devotional

The memory of the just. It is not that evil men are forgotten, but rather that they are remembered with fear or loathing, while the memory of good men is recalled with pleasure (see Ps. 72:17). Thus the memory of the wicked is well compared with offensive corruption.
