Godliness has the promises of this life4. And of the life to come 10. The prosperity of the godly shall be an eyesore to the wicked It is well This phrase suggests a state of blessedness and peace. In the Hebrew context, the word often translated as "well" is "טוֹב" (tov), which conveys goodness, prosperity, and well-being. This reflects the biblical principle that those who live righteously and align themselves with God's will experience a deep-seated peace and contentment, regardless of external circumstances. The idea of "it is well" resonates with the broader biblical narrative that God rewards faithfulness and righteousness with His favor and peace. with the man who is generous and lends freely who conducts his affairs with justice He will guide . . .--Rather, he will gain his cause: in (the) judgment. So apparently the LXX. and Vulg. Others, "he will sustain his affairs by justice." The verb primarily means "to measure," but in the conjugation here used has the sense of "sustains." (See Genesis 45:11; Genesis 47:12; Genesis 1:21, where the Authorised Version has "nourish.") The meaning is confirmed by the parallelism of the next verse. Verse 5. - A good man showeth favor, and lendeth; rather, well is it with the man that showeth, etc. The verse is exegetical of the latter clause of ver. 4, and shows how the righteous man's compassion works. It makes him "show favor," or "kindness," to men generally, and "lend" to those who are in necessity (comp. Psalm 37:26; and for the duty of lending to the needy, see Deuteronomy 15:8, 11). He will guide his affairs with discretion; rather, perhaps, with equity. Scarcely, as Professor Cheyne suggests, "in courts of justice."Parallel Commentaries ...
