This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_11:8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
Ver. 8. And the wicked cometh in his stead.] Thus it befell Haman, and Daniel’s enemies, and those inhuman Edomites, {Lam_4:21} and Herod with his hacksters. {Act_12:1-4; Act_12:21-23} It is "a righteous thing with God," {2Th_1:6-7} though to men it seem an incredible paradox, and a news by far more admirably [wonderfull] than acceptable, that there should be such a transmutation of conditions on both sides, to contraries. But thus it happens frequently. John Martin of Briqueras, a mile from Angrogne, in France, vaunted everywhere that he would slit the minister’s nose of Angrogne. But, behold! himself was shortly after assaulted by a wolf, which bit off his nose, so that he died mad from it. {a}
{a} Acts and Mon., fol. 871.
