Commentary on Proverbs 14:32

Theological / Devotional

Driven away. The Hebrew for this clause may better be rendered, "cast down in his calamity." The contrast, then, is between the sinner who faces calamity without the assurance of protection from God, because he has failed to serve Him faithfully in times of peace and prosperity, and the good man who can face certain death with the calm trust that has carried him through life.
