Even substantial things such as a house, if it is built and maintained by the wicked, will not last. Notice, it does not simply disintegrate as though it is poorly built, which is often the case with the products of the wicked; it is destroyed by the hand of God, who will not let the unrighteous prosper forever (Psalm 73:1–20).
Meanwhile, the apparently flimsy tents of the righteous protect them through their pilgrimage to the city which has foundations designed and built by God (Hebrews 11:9–10). The promises of God may seem as mere tents when compared to the tangible products of this world. But God’s provision is sure, it exceeds our understanding of his promise, and lasts eternally, while the things of this world fade until they are finally destroyed when our Lord returns (2 Peter 3:10).
11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.
