Commentary on Proverbs 20:22

Theological / Devotional

Recompense. With the example of Christ before them (1 Peter 2:23), Christians cannot fail to realize the necessity of resisting all impulses to take revenge. The Lord claims that vengeance is His (Heb. 10:30). Those who put their trust in Him will be so protected by the Lord that all the attacks of their enemies will turn out to be for their good (Rom. 8:28).
