Proverbs10:29

29. The way of the LORD is strength to the upright, but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

Either 1. The way or course of Gods Providence in the government of the world. Or rather 2. The way of Gods Precepts, as Gods way or ways are most commonly understood in Scripture, or walking in Gods ways; for this is opposed to working iniquity in the next clause.

Gives strength, i. e. either courage and confidence: or support and protection from that destruction here following.

Or, terrour or consternation, as the word properly signifies, and many render it. The design of this verse is to shew that Piety is the only true Policy.
