Commentary on Proverbs 24:29
Theological / DevotionalI will do so. Solomon warns against a man’s adopting the reverse of the golden rule. Even though an enemy has testified falsely against us, we are not to do so to him. Whatever evil he may have done us, we are not to pay him back in his own coin. Recompense belongs to God (Heb. 10:30).
The idea of taking vengeance on an enemy is epitomized in the old saying, “I will get even with him!” Our opponent has lowered himself to treat us in an evil way, and we are waiting our time to lower ourselves to his level. If he then lowers himself more to attack us again, we again lower ourselves to his level to hit back. That process may go on for a long time, but no one gains by it except the great adversary of mankind.
