SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:10
¶ El gran Dios cría todas las cosas; y al loco da la paga, y a los transgresores da el salario.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 26:10
Verse 10. The great God that formed all things ] See the margin, where this verse is very differently translated. I shall add that of Coverdale: "A man of experience discerneth all thinges well: but whoso hyreth a foole, hyreth soch one as wyl take no hede." The br rab may mean either the great God, or a great man: hence the two renderings, in the text and in the margin.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. The great [God], that formed all [things] , etc.] That made the heavens, earth, and sea, and all that are in them; who is great in the perfections of his nature, and in the works of his hands, and greatly to be praised; both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors ; according to their works; every transgression of the law receiving its just recompence of reward, whether a man transgresses it ignorantly or wilfully; as his transgressions are, whether through error or presumption, so shall his punishment be; though some understand this, as Kimchi, of the Lord’s doing good in a providential way, to the wise and unwise, the righteous and the wicked: the words are by some rendered to another sense, “a great one grieveth all, and he hireth the fool, and he hireth the transgressors” f721 ; that is, a great man, a tyrannical prince, grieves all his good subjects; or, as Hottinger f722 , from the use of the word in the Arabic tongue, changes all things, inverts their order, or administers all at his will, that is, wrongly; when he hires fools and wicked men to do those bad things for him which others would not, to the great detriment of the commonwealth; and rewards them for it, putting them into posts of honour and trust, to the great grief and trouble of all his best subjects.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10 - This verse may either declare how the Lord, the Creator of all men will deal with sinners according to their guilt, or, how the powerfu among men should disgrace and punish the wicked.
