"For their calamity shall rise suddenly; And the destruction from them both, who knoweth it? "
— Proverbs 24:22, American Standard Version
“For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?”
“for their calamity will rise suddenly; the destruction from them both--who knows?”
“for suddenly their destruction will overtake them, and who knows the ruinous judgment both the LORD and the king can bring?”
“For their destruction shall rise suddenly: and who knoweth the ruin of both?”
“For their downfall will come suddenly; and who has knowledge of the destruction of those in high positions?”
“For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?”
Fret not thyself because of evil-doers; Neither be thou envious at the wicked:
For there shall be no reward to the evil man; The lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king; And company not with them that are given to change:
For their calamity shall rise suddenly; And the destruction from them both, who knoweth it?
These also aresayingsof the wise. To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.
He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous, Peoples shall curse him, nations shall abhor him;
But to them that rebukehim shall be delight, And a good blessing shall come upon them.
