The sinner who pursues after living a foolish life will reap disaster. Disaster will hound him therefore his life will be subject to the experience of all kinds of trouble and hardship. Since the fool’s way of life is governed by his folly he will not be able to avoid being hurt by various kinds of calamities falling upon them. The righteous, on the other hand are wise and therefore their lifestyle will be characterised by doing what is right and true. As a result they will be rewarded because their good way of living will be a blessing to them.
21 Disaster pursues sinners, but the righteous are rewarded with good.
