 | Misfortune pursues the sinner, but prosperity is the reward of the righteous. |
 | Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed. |
 | Adversity pursues sinners, But the righteous will be rewarded with prosperity. |
| Proverbs 13:21 |
Commentary
This is a basic theme/general principle throughout Proverbs and is illustrated throughout the OT, which establishes that righteousness brings divine blessing and evil brings divine cursing.
