PROVERBS CHAPTER 11.
V. 7. When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish, all his hopes come to naught, his longing for wealth and honor and the gratification of his lusts is cut off, and the hope of unjust men perisheth, literally, “the expectation of wickedness,” for death puts an end to all desires of this kind. This verse implies, also, that death cuts off all hopes, every person being judged according to the way in which death finds him; there is no purgatory and therefore no deliverance from purgatory.
V. 8. The righteous is delivered out of trouble, the Lord Himself being his Deliverer, 2 Timothy 4, 18, and the wicked cometh in his stead, taking the place of the righteous in the midst of trouble.
