Proverbs of Solomon: observations of moral virtues, and their contrary vicesWhen the whirlwind passes In biblical literature, a whirlwind often symbolizes sudden and overwhelming judgment or calamity. This imagery is used in various scriptures, such as Job 38:1 and Nahum 1:3, to depict God's power and the swift execution of His justice. The whirlwind represents the trials and tribulations that can come upon individuals or nations, often unexpectedly. In the context of Proverbs, it serves as a metaphor for the inevitable consequences of wickedness. The whirlwind's passing suggests that these trials are temporary but can have lasting effects on those who are unprepared or unrighteous. the wicked are no more but the righteous are secure forever Persons / Places / Events 1. The WickedRefers to those who live in opposition to God's ways, often characterized by moral corruption and rebellion against divine law. 2. The Righteous Those who live in accordance with God's commandments, seeking to embody His principles of justice, mercy, and faithfulness. 3. The Whirlwind A metaphorical representation of chaos, judgment, or trials that test the foundation of one's life. 4. Security The state of being protected or safe from harm, which in this context refers to the eternal stability and peace granted to the righteous. 5. Proverbs A book in the Old Testament, traditionally attributed to King Solomon, known for its wisdom literature that provides practical guidance for living a life pleasing to God. Teaching Points The Temporary Nature of WickednessThe wicked may seem to prosper temporarily, but their foundation is unstable and will not withstand the trials of life or the judgment of God. The Eternal Security of the Righteous Those who live according to God's ways are promised eternal security, not just in this life but in the life to come. Building on a Firm Foundation Like the wise builder, we must construct our lives on the teachings and principles of God to withstand life's storms. The Role of Trials Trials and challenges serve to reveal the true nature of our foundation, whether it is built on the shifting sands of wickedness or the solid rock of righteousness. God's Sovereignty in Judgment The whirlwind symbolizes God's sovereign power to execute judgment, reminding us of the importance of aligning our lives with His will.(25) As the whirlwind passeth.--Better, when the whirlwind, &c. (Comp. Wisdom Of Solomon 5:14-15; Job 21:18; Matthew 7:24, ff.) Death is ruin to the wicked, and gain to the righteous (2Timothy 1:12).Verse 25. - As the whirlwind passeth. According to this rendering (which has the support of the Vulgate) the idea is the speed with which, under God's vengeance, the sinner is consumed, as Isaiah 17:13; Job 21:18. But it is better to translate, as the LXX., "when the whirlwind is passing," i.e. when the storm of judgment falls, as Christ represents the tempest beating on the ill-founded house and destroying it, while that which was built on the rock remains uninjured (comp. Proverbs 12:3; Matthew 7:25, etc.; comp. Wisd. 5:14, etc). Everlasting foundation (Ver. 30; Psalm 91; Psalm 125:1); like the Cyclopean stones on which Solomon's temple was built. It is natural to see here an adumbration of that Just One, the Messiah, the chief Cornerstone. The LXX. gives, "But the righteous turning aside is saved forever." Parallel Commentaries ...
