The Pulpit Commentary on Proverbs 10:30

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The righteous shall never be removed (Proverbs 2:21; Proverbs 12:3, Proverbs 12:21; Psalms 10:6; Psalms 37:29). This is in agreement with the temporal promise made to the patriarchs and often renewed, as in the fifth commandment.

St. Paul says (1 Timothy 4:8), "Godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come." The wicked shall not inhabit (or, abide not in) the land.

The punishment of exile was threatened upon the Jews for their disobedience, and they are still suffering this retribution (Le 26:33; Deuteronomy 4:27; Isaiah 22:17). Christ gives the other aspect of God's moral government when he says (Matthew 5:5), "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth."
