Proverbs 22:9

"He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed."

Key Reflection

This verse suggests that those who choose to engage in evil actions will ultimately face consequences and difficulties as a result. The "rod of his fury" symbolizes the destructive power of their own anger, which will eventually be brought to an end through divine judgment or natural retribution.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

He that hath a bountiful eye -literally, as in the margin, contrasted with the “evil eye” ofProverbs 28:22.
