SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:12

¶ Considera el justo la casa del impío; cómo los impíos son trastornados por el mal.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 21:12

Verse 12. The
righteous man wisely considereth ] This verse is understood as implying the pious concern of a righteous man, for a wicked family, whom he endeavours by his instructions to bring into the way of knowledge and peace.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 12. The
righteous [man] wisely considereth the house of the wicked , etc.] Not so much the stately palace he lives in, and the furniture of it, as the glory, splendour, riches, and largeness of his family; the flourishing condition he and they are in: he considers how they came into it, the short continuance of it, and what the end will be, which in a short time wilt be ruin and destruction; and therefore be does not envy their present happiness, or fret at it. Gersom renders it, “the righteous maketh the house of the wicked to prosper;” as Joseph did Potiphar’s, and Jacob Laban’s; or rather the Lord made them to prosper for their sakes. Jarchi interprets the righteous of God himself; who gives his heart, or has it in his heart to cut off the house of the wicked, as follows; [but God] overthroweth the wicked for [their] wickedness ; or removes them into evil, as the Targum; into the evil of punishment, for the evil of sin. Aben Ezra supplies the word “God”, as we do; and understands it of God’s destroying wicked men for their sins, though they have flourished for a while in this world: but some interpret it of the righteous man, even of a righteous magistrate, who is prudent and diligent in his office; who looks into the houses of wicked men, and inquires who they are that are in them, and how they live; and what they have in their houses, whether stolen goods, the properties of others; or arms, either for treasonable practices or for robberies; and takes them and punishes them according to the laws of God and men.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 12 - Good men
envy not the prosperity of evil-doers; they see there is curse on them.
