Righteousness delivers from death and judgment (<span class='bible'>Pro 11:4<\/span>), it directs men in the right way (<span class='bible'>Pro 11:5<\/span>), and it delivers them out of trouble (<span class='bible'>Pro 11:6<\/span>). In contrast the unrighteous face the day of wrath (<span class='bible'>Pro 11:4<\/span>), will fall by their own evildoing (<span class='bible'>Pro 11:5<\/span>), will be taken captive by covetousness (<span class='bible'>Pro 11:6<\/span>), and will discover that their expectations are groundless (<span class='bible'>Pro 11:7<\/span>) They will experience the day of trouble.<\/p>\n<p> The subsection is closely connected with the previous one (note the upright in 3a, 6a, and the treacherous in 3b, 6b), and focuses on being &lsquo;delivered, snatched away&rsquo; (natsal) from death (4b, 6b). It is also connected with the following subsection by reference to &lsquo;deliverance&rsquo; (chalats) in <span class='bible'>Pro 11:8<\/span> a, <span class='bible'>9<\/span> b.<\/p>\n<p> The subsection can be presented chiastically:<\/p>\n<p style='margin-left:3.6em'><strong> A <\/strong> Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death (<span class='bible'>Pro 11:4<\/span>)<\/p>\n<p style='margin-left:3.6em'><strong> B <\/strong> The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, but the wicked will fall by his own wickedness (<span class='bible'>Pro 11:5<\/span>).<\/p>\n<p style='margin-left:3.6em'><strong> B <\/strong> The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, but the treacherous will be captured by covetousness (<span class='bible'>Pro 11:6<\/span>).<\/p>\n<p style='margin-left:3.6em'><strong> A <\/strong> When a wicked man dies, his expectation perish, and the expectation arising from strength perishes (<span class='bible'>Pro 11:7<\/span>).<\/p>\n<p> Note that in A the righteous man is delivered from death, but riches do not profit in the day of wrath, whilst in the parallel the expectation of the unrighteous proves useless and perishes. In B the righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, whilst the unrighteous will fall as a result of their own evildoing, whilst in the parallel the righteousness of the upright will deliver them, whilst the treacherous will be enslaved by covetousness and will take the place of the righteous, presumably in death.<\/p>\n<p> <span class='bible'><strong> Pro 11:4<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,<\/p>\n<p> But righteousness delivers from death.&rsquo;<\/p>\n<p> This verse puts <span class='bible'>Pro 10:15<\/span> into perspective. &lsquo;Riches do not profit in the day of wrath.&rsquo; It is thus not the wealth of the wise man which is his fortress city, it is his righteousness. It is the fact that he walks in accordance with God&rsquo;s wisdom. In <span class='bible'>Pro 10:15<\/span> his wealth was simply a sign that he had so responded to God&rsquo;s wisdom.<\/p>\n<p> It will be noted that the riches mentioned here are more general. They apply both to the unrighteous (<span class='bible'>Pro 1:13<\/span> where they are hoped for riches; <span class='bible'>Pro 6:31<\/span>) and the righteous (<span class='bible'>Pro 8:18<\/span>). Such riches are of no profit to anyone on the day of wrath, the day when troubles come on men from YHWH as illustrated in <span class='bible'>Pro 1:26-31<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Pro 2:22<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Pro 3:25<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Pro 6:15<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Pro 7:22-23<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Pro 7:26-27<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Pro 8:36<\/span> b; personalised in <span class='bible'>Pro 6:34<\/span>. In that day wealth will be of no value. Men&rsquo;s expectations will die with them (<span class='bible'>Pro 11:7<\/span>). The only thing that will matter in that day will be the protection of YHWH. For the assumption is being made that YHWH will watch over the righteous and deliver them from death.<\/p>\n<p> Solomon thus puts riches into perspective. There are the riches which abound to the righteous because they walk wisely with God, which are a by-product of their righteousness, and there are the riches which are obtained by wresting them from others (<span class='bible'>Pro 1:11-19<\/span>) or by using false balances (<span class='bible'>Pro 11:1<\/span>). In the latter case they are their main aim in life, not simply a by-product of living wisely. But in neither case will those riches benefit them in the day of wrath. God will then look at their hearts and see if they have walked with Him. It was this paradox that caused the disciples such problems in the case of the rich young ruler (<span class='bible'>Mar 10:23-31<\/span>).<\/p>\n<p> <span class='bible'><strong> Pro 11:5-6<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way,<\/p>\n<p> But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.&rsquo;<\/p>\n<p> The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,<\/p>\n<p> But the treacherous will be captured by covetousness.&rsquo;<\/p>\n<p> These two parallel verses describe the two different kinds of people who will face the day of wrath, and explains why each will be treated in the way they are. The blameless and upright will be guided by their righteousness in the right way and will be delivered, not by their riches, but by the One Who upholds the righteous. In contrast the evildoer (wicked) and the treacherous will fall as a result of their own evildoing. They have nothing by which to direct their way and find themselves stumbling and falling in the by-paths in which they find themselves (compare <span class='bible'>Pro 7:26<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Pro 3:23<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Pro 4:12<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Pro 4:19<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Pro 2:13-15<\/span>). Furthermore they will be taken captive as a consequence of their own greed and covetousness (compare <span class='bible'>Pro 1:11-19<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Pro 11:1<\/span>). Their greed has taken them over, and they will have brought the wrath upon themselves.<\/p>\n<p> <span class='bible'><strong> Pro 11:7<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;When a wicked man dies, his expectation perish,<\/p>\n<p> And the expectation arising from strength perishes.&rsquo;<\/p>\n<p> The unrighteous (&lsquo;wicked&rsquo;) man is now brought into the foreground. He lives in expectation of good things, and especially so if he is strong and wealthy, but he will die and his expectations will perish, whatever prompts them. In that day all his vaunted strength will be of no avail.

In this interpretation, the &#8220;day of death&#8221; from which righteousness delivers is the &#8220;second death.&#8221; It is also true that riches are of no value in the day of death.<\/p>\n<p>Pro 11:4. Clarke: Among men they can do all things; but they cannot purchase the remission of sins, nor turn aside the wrath of God when that is poured out. Observe this fact in 1Pe 1:18; Pro 10:2; Eze 7:19; Zep 1:18. If one could gain the whole world, he could not redeem his lost soul by offering it to God at judgment (Mar 8:36-37). But righteousness has a great bearing on ones being delivered when God raises to punish (Gen 7:1; 2Pe 2:5; 2Pe 2:7).<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Old and New Testaments Restoration Commentary<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p>Riches: Pro 10:2, Job 36:18, Job 36:19, Psa 49:6-8, Eze 7:19, Zep 1:18, Mat 16:26, Luk 12:20 <\/p>\n<p>but: Pro 12:28, Gen 7:1, Rom 5:17, 1Ti 4:8 <\/p>\n<p>Reciprocal: Gen 7:23 &#8211; and Noah Job 20:28 &#8211; and his goods Job 21:30 &#8211; day Psa 49:9 &#8211; That he Psa 49:10 &#8211; leave Pro 8:18 &#8211; and righteousness Pro 11:19 &#8211; righteousness Pro 18:11 &#8211; General Ecc 5:13 &#8211; riches Ecc 7:12 &#8211; the excellency Isa 10:3 &#8211; where Jer 9:23 &#8211; rich Jer 48:36 &#8211; the riches Eze 14:14 &#8211; deliver Eze 27:27 &#8211; Thy riches Zec 9:4 &#8211; the Lord Mat 6:19 &#8211; General Rom 2:5 &#8211; the day Jam 5:1 &#8211; ye Jam 5:20 &#8211; from death<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p>Pro 11:4-6.
