Proverbs 24:25

But to them that rebuke [him] shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.

Ver. 25. But to them that rebuke him shall be delight.] Those judges that reprove and punish the wicked shall - besides the Euge of a good conscience, which is far better than the world's plaudite - delight themselves in the Lord, and reign in the affections of all good men, who shall soon also say, ‘God's blessing be on such a good judge's heart, for he saveth the innocent, and punisheth the wicked,' &c. As he hath "done worthily in Ephrata, so he shall be famous in Bethlehem." Rth 4:11 See Job 29:11,12 .
