SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:18
porque ciertamente hay fin, y tu esperanza no serį cortada.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 23:18
Verse 18. Surely there is an end ] tyrja ¨y yesh acharith, there is another life; "and thy expectation" of the enjoyment of a blessed immortality "shall not be cut off." The Old MS. Bible reads thus: "For thou schalt hab hop in the last: and thin abiiding schal not ben taken awei". "For the ende is not yet come; and thy patient abydinge shal not be in vayne." - COVERDALE.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. For surely there is an end , etc.] Both of the prosperity of the wicked, which is but for a short time; and of the afflictions of the righteous, which are but as it were for a moment; and therefore there is no reason to envy the one, nor to be fretful under the other; the end to a good man will be peace and prosperity for ever: there is a “reward” f628 , as some render it here, for the righteous, though not of debt, but of grace; upon which account they have ground to expect much here and hereafter; and thine expectation shall not be cut off ; or “hope” f629 ; as an hypocrite’s is; for the hope of a saint is well founded upon the person and righteousness of Christ, and is an anchor sure and steadfast; his expectation of grace, and every needful supply of it, while in this life, and of eternal glory and happiness in the world to come, shall not perish; but he shall enjoy what he is hoping, expecting, and waiting for.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17, 18 - The believer's expectation shall not be disappointed; the end of his trials, and of the sinner's prosperity, is at hand.
