“The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment. destroy: Heb. saw them, or, dwell with them”
Proverbs 21:7 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 21:7
The wicked's violence 'shall destroy them' because they refuse to do judgment. The Hebrew 'shadad' (destroy/devastate) and 'garar' (drag away) suggest being swept away by consequences of their own violence. Reformed theology's doctrine of God's justice affirms that sin carries intrinsic consequences. Those who live by the sword die by it (Matthew 26:52). The wicked's refusal to practice justice ('mishpat') results in being destroyed by their own injustice. This is both natural consequence and divine judgment.
