Proverbs14:32

32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness : but the righteous hath hope in his death .

To wit, in his Death, as is gathered from the opposite Clause: driven away from God's favour and presence, and from the Society of the Just, and from all his hopes of Happiness both in this life and in the next. This expression notes that this is done suddenly, violently, and irresistibly, as the smoke or chaff are driven away by a strong Wind.

Or, for his wickedness, Heb. in his evil, which may be understood of the evil of punishment; in the day of his calamity, when he shall flee to God for help.

Of deliverance from it, or of great and everlasting advantage by it.

In his greatest dangers and distresses, yea even in I eath it self, which therefore he can receive with comfort and confidence.

Marginal references: Job 13. 15. & 19. 26. Ps. 23. 4. 1 Cor. 15. 19. 2 Cor. 1. 9.
