Commentary on Proverbs 26:10
The great God who formed all things rewards both fool and transgressor. The difficult Hebrew allows multiple translations. Most likely: the one who hires fools and transgressors harms everyone (shoots arrows randomly, wounding all). Employing incompetent or wicked people produces indiscriminate damage. Alternatively: God judges all impartially - fools and sinners both receive due recompense. Either way, wisdom requires discernment in employment and recognition that God judges justly.
