“In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.”
Proverbs 15:6 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 15:6
The 'house of the righteous' contains 'much treasure,' while 'in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.' This isn't prosperity gospel—the 'treasure' (Hebrew 'chocen') includes spiritual riches, peace, and God's blessing. The wicked's 'revenue' (Hebrew 'tebuah'—increase/income) brings 'trouble' (Hebrew 'akar'—disturbance/misery). Reformed theology distinguishes between true and false prosperity. Riches gained through wickedness cannot satisfy and often bring additional problems. Godliness with contentment is great gain (1 Timothy 6:6). True wealth is found in righteousness and God's presence.
