"for suddenly their destruction will overtake them, and who knows the ruinous judgment both the LORD and the king can bring?"
— Proverbs 24:22, NET Bible
“For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?”
“For their calamity shall rise suddenly; And the destruction from them both, who knoweth it? ”
“for their calamity will rise suddenly; the destruction from them both--who knows?”
“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?”
Do not fret because of evil people or be envious of wicked people,
for the evil person has no future, and the lamp of the wicked will be extinguished.
Fear the LORD, my child, as well as the king, and do not associate with rebels,
for suddenly their destruction will overtake them, and who knows the ruinous judgment both the LORD and the king can bring?
Further Sayings of the Wise These sayings also are from the wise: To show partiality in judgment is terrible:
The one who says to the guilty,“You are innocent,” peoples will curse him, and nations will denounce him.
But there will be delight for those who convict the guilty, and a pleasing blessing will come on them.
