Proverbs 14:19, 22 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. Do they not err that devise evil? But mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
‘The evil bow before the good.’ The wicked will be brought down to respect the righteous.
Sin has two main results: Present shame and emptiness (Rom. 6:21) and future, eternal death and hell, the end of a life of sowing to the flesh (Rom. 6:21-23; 8:13; Gal. 6:7-8; Rev. 20:6, 10-15).
The wicked will be resurrected to eternal punishment and damnation 1,000 years after the resurrection of the righteous (John 5:29; Dan. 12:2; Rev. 14:9-11; 20:4-6, 11-15; 21:8; 22:15). The wicked will be resurrected to judgment and punishment in contrast to the righteous who will be raised to everlasting life and eternal freedom from judgment (John 5:24).
