SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:3
El SEÑOR no dejará hambrear el alma del justo; mas la iniquidad lanzará a los impíos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 10:3
Verse 3. But he casteth away the substance of the wicked. ] But instead of µy[r reshaim, the wicked, µydgwb bogedim, hypocrites, or perfidious persons, is the reading of twelve or fourteen of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., and some editions; but it is not acknowledged by any of the ancient versions. The righteous have God for their feeder; and because of his infinite bounty, they can never famish for want of the bread of life. On the contrary, the wicked are often, in the course of his providence, deprived of the property of which they make a bad use.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish , etc.] Or to perish by famine: not but that good men may be afflicted with it, as Jacob and his sons were, when the famine was in Egypt and in other lands; and as the apostles, particularly the Apostle Paul, were often in hunger and thirst, yet not so as to be destroyed by it; for in famine the Lord redeems such from death; though the young lions lack and suffer hunger, they that fear the Lord shall not want any good thing; at least whatever they may suffer this way does not arise from the wrath of God, nor does it nor can it separate from the love of God and Christ, ( Job 5:20 Psalm 34:8,9 Romans 8:35). Moreover, the souls of such shall not be famished for want of spiritual food; shall not have a famine of the word and ordinances; their souls shall be fed, as with marrow and fatness, with the finest of the wheat, and with honey out of the rock: the church, though in the wilderness, is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, ( Revelation 12:14); but he casteth away the substance of the wicked ; that which is got in a wicked way; as sometimes he causes it to diminish by little and little; at other times he forcibly and suddenly drives it away, and causes it to take wings and fly away; though it has been swallowed down with great greediness and in great abundance, he makes them throw it up again, and casts it out of their belly, whether they will or not, so that it does not profit them, ( Job 20:15).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 2, 3 - Though the righteous may be poor, the Lord will not suffer him to wan what is needful for spiritual life.
