THEOSISNikolaj Velimirovic
How just is the Lord toward the wicked, and how merciful is He toward the righteous! That which the wicked fear comes upon them, and that which the righteous fear, He keeps far from them. What do the righteous fear? Only sin.
Proverbs 10:24Meaning & Commentary from the Church Fathers
That which the wicked feareth, shall come upon him: to the just their desire shall be given.
מְגוֹרַ֣ת רָ֭שָׁע הִ֣יא תְבוֹאֶ֑נּוּ וְתַאֲוַ֖ת צַדִּיקִ֣ים יִתֵּֽן׃
