Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 4. - Profit not; afford no refuge (Proverbs 10:2). In the day of wrath (Proverbs 6:34), when God visits individuals or nations to punish them for sin (comp. Ecclus. 5:8). Such visitations are often spoken of (comp. Isaiah 10:3; Ezekiel 7:19; Zephaniah 1:15, 18, etc.). More especially will this be true in me great dies irae. Righteousness... death (see on Proverbs 10:2; and comp. Tobit 4:10 Tobit 12:9). The Septuagint here adds a sentence which is similar to ver. 10: "When the righteous dieth he leaveth regret, but the destruction of the wicked is easy and delightsome (πρόχειρος καὶ ἐπίχαρτος)."

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) In the day of wrath.--Riches profit in no day of wrath when God "visits" His people to take account of their evil doings; much less will they avail in "the day" (1Corinthians 3:13).Righteousness delivereth from death.--See above on Proverbs 10:2.
