The lamp going out accords with the “ no<\/em> reward,” or “ future<\/em> ” of the preceding clause.<\/p>\n No reward – <\/B>literally, no future, no life worthy to be called life, no blessing.<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 20<\/span>. For there shall be no reward to the evil man<\/B><\/I>] acharith<\/I>. There shall not be the future state<\/I> of blessedness<\/I> to the wicked. See Clarke on Pr 24:14<\/span>. His candle shall be put out<\/I>; his prosperity<\/I> shall finally cease, or he shall have no posterity<\/I>. Some have thought that this text intimates the annihilation<\/I> of sinners; but it refers not to being<\/I>, but to the state<\/I> or condition<\/I> of that being. The wicked shall be<\/I>; but they shall not be<\/I> HAPPY.<\/P> <\/p>\n There shall be no reward to the evil man; <\/B>all his hopes and happiness shall quickly and eternally perish, and he shall have the share in those solid felicities and blessed recompences of a better life which thou shalt enjoy; therefore thou hast no reason to envy him. <\/P> The candle of the wicked shall be put out; <\/B>all their comfort and glory shall cease. <\/P> <\/p>\n 20. candle<\/B>or, “prosperity”;it shall come to an end (Pro 13:9<\/span>;Pro 20:20<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n For there shall be no reward to the evil [man]<\/strong>,…. No reward of good things, such as is for the righteous in a way of grace; but he shall have a reward of evil things, a just recompence of reward for his sins: of “no end” r; there will be an end of his life in this world, and there will be an end of his prosperity; but, as the Targum is, there will be no “good end” to him; his end will not be like that of the perfect and upright man, for it will be cut off, Ps 37:37<\/span>; or, as the Vulgate Latin version renders it, “the wicked have no hope of future things”; no good hope of everlasting happiness; they have their good things now, and their evil things hereafter; and therefore are not to be fretted at and envied. Aben Ezra interprets it, they shall have no offspring or issue, son or nephew; the word is sometimes used for posterity;<\/p>\n the candle of the wicked shall be put out<\/strong>; meaning not the dim light of nature in them, nor the light of life before their time, so Aben Ezra; but their prosperity, riches, splendour, and glory, which candle is often put out while they live, and always at death; after which they have no more light, honour, and happiness; even not so much as the light of a candle, to which their prosperity in this life is compared, it being at best but small, and of a short continuance; see<\/p>\n Job 18:5<\/span>; and therefore should not be the object of the envy of good men, who are in a more happy and stable condition than they.<\/p>\n r “finis”, Pagninus, Vatablus, Baynus, Junius & Tremellius, Mercerus, Gejerus.<\/p>\n (20) For there shall be no reward.<\/strong>Literally, future, <\/em>as in Pro. 24:15<\/span>.<\/p>\n The candle of the wicked shall be put out<\/strong>See above on Pro. 13:9<\/span>.<\/p>\n 20<\/strong>. <\/strong> No reward <\/strong> No future reward, no hereafter.

For there shall be no reward.<\/strong> ] He shall suffer both pain of loss, and pain of sense, which whether is the more grievous, is hard to determine. Sure it is, that the tears of hell are not sufficient to bewail the loss of heaven; their worm of grief gnaws as painfully as their fire burns. “Depart from me, ye cursed,” sounds as harsh in their ears as that which follows, “into everlasting flames.”<\/p>\n reward = posterity, or future. <\/p>\n candle = lamp.
