Proverbs11:31
31. Behold the righteous shall be recompensed in the Earth : much more the wicked and the sinner .
i. e. Punished for his sins, as appears from the next Clause, the general word being here used of this one particular, by a Synecdoche.
VVhereby he intimates, that all his sufferings are confined to this VVorld, which is an unspeakable felicity.
They shall be punished more certainly and more severely, either in this life, or in the next.
Those who make sin their great study, and daily and most delightful exercise. Compare this Verse with 1 Pet. 4. 18. which is a good Conment upon it.
