Commentary on Proverbs 11:31
Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth; much more the wicked and the sinner. If even the righteous receive recompense (reward or discipline) for their deeds, how much more will the wicked face judgment! The verse uses qal vachomer (light to heavy) reasoning - if lesser case is true, greater case certainly is. Peter quotes this verse (1 Pet 4:17-18), applying it to judgment beginning with God's house.
