Proverbs 10:30

The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.

Ver. 30. The righteous shall never be removed.] Or, They shall not be removed for ever, though for a while they may seem to be so.

But the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.] God sits upon the circle of the earth, to shake them out thence, as by a canvass.
