Proclamation:
“The faithless will be fully repaid for their ways, and the good rewarded for theirs.” Proverbs 14:14 (NIV)
Explanation:
This proverb was written by King Solomon under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God. This fourteenth proverb of Solomon continues the pattern which he started in the tenth proverb of presenting a series of seemingly unrelated sentences that compares and contrasts that which is good and righteous with that which is not. Much is said in this proverb contrasting the wise man and the fool. He who forsakes The Lord God will be punished and made to pay for his sins. The righteous believer will be rewarded for following the ways of The Lord. He shall eat the fruits of his labor and he shall be blessed for his good deeds. (Isaiah 3:10)

Application:
As we sow, so shall we also reap. (Galatians 6:7-8) He that sows evil and wickedness will reap the same as he sows. (Job 4:8 and Proverbs 22:8) Those who enjoy doing evil and those who seek only the pleasures of the flesh or worldly treasure will have to answer for their rejection of The Lord God and His way. (Revelation 20:15) While those who are faithful believers, who follow The Holy Word of God, will be rewarded for being good stewards and faithful servants. (Matthew 25:21 and 25:23)
