SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:28
La esperanza de los justos es alegría; mas la esperanza de los impíos perecerá.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 10:28
Verse 28. The expectation of the wicked shall perish. ] A wicked man is always imposing on himself by the hope of God's mercy and final happiness; and he continues hoping, till he dies without receiving that mercy which alone would entitle him to that glory.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 28. The hope of the righteous [shall be] gladness , etc.] Or, “[is] gladness” f286 ; it is now attended with joy; he has a pleasure in the exercise of the grace of hope as to future things; he rejoices in hope of the glory of God, and is enabled to hold fast the rejoicing of his hope firm unto the end, ( Romans 5:2 Hebrews 3:6); and the issue of his hope will be an abundant entrance into the joy of his Lord; a being brought into his presence, in which is fulness of joy; he is not ashamed of his hope now, and he will not be disappointed hereafter; but the expectation of the wicked shall perish ; his hope and expectation, either of riches, and honour, and pleasure in this world, or of a long life in it; or of happiness in the other, and of escaping the wrath of God, and the vengeance of eternal fire; all which, being grounded on a wrong bottom, shall be frustrated; see ( Job 8:13 11:20 27:8).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27, 28 - What man is he that loves life? Let him fear God, and that will secur to him life enough in this world, and eternal life in the other.
