Solomon
Proverbs 13:21ESV·traditional attribution

Disaster pursues sinners, but the righteous are rewarded with good.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian

Here see, 1. How unavoidable the destruction of sinners is; the wrath of God pursues them, and all the terrors of that wrath: Evil pursues them closely wherever they go, as the avenger of blood pursued the manslayer, and they have no city of refuge to flee to; they attempt an escape, but in vain. Whom God pursues he is sure to overtake.

John Gill Reformed Baptist

Evil pursueth sinners,.... They pursue the evil of sin, and the evil of punishment pursues them, and at last overtakes them; their damnation, though it may seem to slumber and linger, it does not; it is upon the full speed after them, and will quickly seize upon them.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Reformed

(Compare Pro 11:31). good . . . repaid--or, "He (God) will repay good."
