Do not ask yourself why the evil man will receive his reward; What happens is that, due to the behavior of the evil man, who is completely away from the Lord, they have thoughts of committing unpleasant acts.
As we read this passage, we contemplate the judgment that comes from God for every wicked man. These will be destroyed, as shown in the book of Proverbs. In ancient times, we could see how men confronted the almighty God, and were eliminated because their thoughts became more and more malicious.
Proverbs chapter 10, verse 29, shows us what will happen to the evil man and the perfect hearted man:
The way of the Lord is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
Proverbs 10:29
The man with a perfect heart pleases God with his behavior, since he follows the Lord’s standards. The laws of the Lord are his principles, and these are pleasing in the presence of God.
Solomon presents us with this contrast between these two types of people. A wise man seeks advice and is guided by the word of the Lord; If he makes a mistake, God comes and corrects him. On the other hand, the bad man does not accept advice nor tolerate correction.
That is why the evil man encounters evil and does not turn away from it, and evil eventually overtakes him and destroys him. It is not wise for us to be ignorant of this reality. Therefore, perfect man and humble of heart, continue to obey the Lord, and you will live forever.
