Proverbs 10:25

New English Translation

²⁵When the storm^[a] passes through, the wicked are swept away,^[b]
but the righteous are an everlasting foundation.^[c]

Proverbs 10:25 sn The word for “storm wind” comes from the root סוּף (suf, “to come to an end; to cease”). The noun may then describe the kind of storm that makes an end of things, a “whirlwind” (so KJV, NASB; NLT “cyclone”). It is used in prophetic passages that describe swift judgment and destruction.
Proverbs 10:25 tn Heb “the wicked are not”; ASV, NAB, NASB “is no more.”
Proverbs 10:25 tn Heb “a foundation forever”; NLT “have a lasting foundation.” sn The metaphor compares the righteous to an everlasting foundation to stress that they are secure when the catastrophes of life come along. He is fixed in a covenantal relationship and needs not to fear passing misfortunes. The wicked has no such security.
