Bible Commentary

Proverbs 14:32

The wicked are undone by their own choices — their wickedness drives them to their end. But the righteous person has hope even at death — because death is not the final word for those who trust God. This verse reaches ahead to the resurrection hope that the New Testament makes explicit.

Memory phrase: Righteous people have hope.

Talk about it: Why does a righteous person have hope even when they die?

Prayer: God, give me hope that lasts beyond death.
