Commentary on Proverbs 2:21

Theological / Devotional

In the land. Or, “in the earth.” The word translated “land” is also frequently translated “earth.” Not only will obedience to the voice of wisdom bring present good; it will also lead to eternal life in the beautiful new earth. Disregard of the Word of God brings trouble in this life and results in the plucking up from the earth of all who continue in sin. So complete will be this rooting out that no trace will be left (Obadiah 16; Mal. 4:1).
