Holy Scripture

Proverbs 11:31

A church father on this verse
“"If the righteous are saved with difficulty, where will the impious and sinners appear?" Consider that life is long, a lasting residence with many dangers. And he [Solomon] does not say these words about those who lived righteously. But if by any chance he said something about them, he would speak in the best of terms…”
John Chrysostom, 5th c. — COMMENTARY ON THE PROVERBS OF SOLOMON, FRAGMENT 11:31

In context

29He that deals not graciously with his own house shall inherit the wind; And the fool shall be servant to the wise man.

30Out of the fruit of righteousness grows a tree of life; But the souls of transgressors are cut off before their time.
