Proverbs 24:18

From. To punish thee. (Calmet) --- Thus will thy thirst of vengeance be disappointed. (Haydock) --- The Hebrews believed that there was no evil, which was not caused by sin; and this was true in some sense. But still God often afflicts his servants, (ver. 16,) as the whole book of Job tends to prove. (Calmet)
