The Two Departures
W. Arnot. Proverbs 14:32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous has hope in his death. I. THE DOOM OF THE WICKED. As smoke is driven by the wind, so will the wicked perish in the day of wrath. We are not able to form a right conception of what it is to be and abide in wickedness. Because it is so near us, we do not know it. II. THE HOPE OF THE JUST. Hope, always lovely, is then sweetest when it beams from heaven through the gloom that gathers round the grave. (W. Arnot.) Parallel Verses KJV: The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death. WEB: The wicked is brought down in his calamity, but in death, the righteous has a refuge.
