Proverbs21:18
18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
The wicked shall be brought into those troubles which were either threatned by God, or designed by wicked men against the righteous, and by that means, as by a ransom, the righteous shall be delivered. Thus Achan was a ransom for Israel, Ios. 7. 26. and Haman for Mordecai.
