John Trapp on Proverbs 12:3

Verſ. 3. A man ſhall not bee eſtabliſhed by wickedneſs] For hee laies his foundation upon fire-work, and brimſtone is ſcattered upon his houſe top: if the fire of God from Heaven but flaſh upon it, it will bee all on a light flame immediately. Hee walks all day upon a mine of gun-powder; and hath God with his armies ready to run upon the thickeſt boſſes of his buckler, and to hurle him to Hell. How can this man bee ſure of any thing? [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Cain built Cities, but could not reſt in them. Ahab begat ſeventy ſons, but not one ſucceſſor in the Kingdome. Phocas having built a mighty wall, heard from Heaven; Though thy walls were as high as Heaven, ſin is under it, and will ſubvert it. [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Sin hath no ſettledneſs.

But the root of the righteous ſhall not bee moved] For though ſhaken with winds, yet they are rooted as trees: like a Ship at Anchor, they wagg up and down, yet remove not. God is my Rock, I ſhall not bee greatly moved, Pſal. 62.2. Nay, I ſhall not bee moved at all, verſ. 6. the gates of Hell cannot do it, Mat. 16.18. None can take them out of Gods hands, John 10.28. for hee hath laid help upon one that is mighty, Pſal. 89.19.
