This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_28:10 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good [things] in possession.
Ver. 10. Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray, &c.] This follows fitly upon the former. Seducers and sectaries dissuade men from hearing the law in public assemblies, and carry them into by corners under a pretence of prayer; like moles, they do all their mischief by working underground, as Epiphanius observeth, they shall therefore perish in their own pit. "If the blind lead the blind," &c. {See Trapp on "Pro_26:27"}
But the upright shall have good things in possession.] They shall not be so "led away with the error of the wicked as to fall from their own steadfastness," {2Pe_3:17} or to forfeit their hereditary right to the kingdom, because "both the deceived and the deceiver are with the Lord," {Job_12:13; Job_12:16} and it is impossible for the elect to be fundamentally and finally seduced, {Mat_24:24} since they are "kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation." {1Pe_1:5} Heaven is kept for them and they for heaven; how then should they miss it?
