But he casteth away the substance of the wicked - But instead of רשעים reshaim , the wicked, בוגדים bogedim , hypocrites, or perfidious persons, is the reading of twelve or fourteen of Kennicott’ s and De Rossi’ s MSS., and some editions; but it is not acknowledged by any of the ancient versions

The righteous have God for their feeder; and because of his infinite bounty, they can never famish for want of the bread of life. On the contrary, the wicked are often, in the course of his providence, deprived of the property of which they make a bad use.

Poole: Pro 10:3 - -- Will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish will preserve them from famine, according to his promises, Psa 34:10 , and elsewhere, which, as o...

Will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish will preserve them from famine, according to his promises, Psa 34:10 , and elsewhere, which, as other temporal promises, is not to be understood simply and universally, but with this limitation, except this be necessary for God’ s glory, which in all reason should overrule the creatures’ good, and for their own greater benefit. For, to say nothing of eternal felicities which follow every good man’ s death, it is certainly in some times and eases a less evil for men to be killed with famine, than to survive to see and feel those miseries which are coming upon them, and upon the land where they live.

The substance as this word is used, Psa 52:7 , or the wickedness , i.e. the wealth gotten by wickedness; as righteousness, Pro 10:2 , is by divers understood of an estate got with righteousness.

Of the wicked who by that means shall be exposed to want and famine.

Haydock: Pro 10:3 - -- Famine. Psalm xxxvi. 25. The prophets and Lazarus rejoice in suffering. [Luke xvi. 20.]

Gill: Pro 10:3 - -- The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish,.... Or to perish by famine: not but that good men may be afflicted with it, as Jacob and...

The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish,.... Or to perish by famine: not but that good men may be afflicted with it, as Jacob and his sons were, when the famine was in Egypt and in other lands; and as the apostles, particularly the Apostle Paul, were often in hunger and thirst, yet not so as to be destroyed by it; for in "famine" the Lord redeems such from death; though the young lions lack and suffer hunger, they that fear the Lord shall not want any good thing; at least whatever they may suffer this way does not arise from the wrath of God, nor does it nor can it separate from the love of God and Christ, Job 5:20. Moreover, the souls of such shall not be famished for want of spiritual food; shall not have a famine of the word and ordinances; their souls shall be fed, as with marrow and fatness, with the finest of the wheat, and with honey out of the rock: the church, though in the wilderness, is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, Rev 12:14;

but he casteth away the substance of the wicked; that which is got in a wicked way; as sometimes he causes it to diminish by little and little; at other times he forcibly and suddenly drives it away, and causes it to take wings and fly away; though it has been swallowed down with great greediness and in great abundance, he makes them throw it up again, and casts it out of their belly, whether they will or not, so that it does not profit them, Job 20:15.
