Proverbs 10:30

10:30 The righteous will never be moved,

but the wicked will not inhabit the land. ¹ 

Proverbs 27:24

27:24 for riches do not last ²  forever,

nor does a crown last ³  from generation to generation.

[10:30]  ¹ sn This proverb concerns the enjoyment of covenant blessings – dwelling in the land of Israel. It is promised to the righteous for an eternal inheritance, and so the wicked cannot expect to settle there – they will be exiled.

[27:24]  ² tn Heb “riches are not forever” (so KJV, NASB); TEV “wealth is not permanent.” The term “last” is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[27:24]  ³ tn The conjunction and the particle indicate that the same nuance continues here in the second colon, and so “last” has been supplied here as well.
