Verse 4

Proverbs 16:4. The Lord hath made all things for himself, &c.— The Lord ordereth all things so as to suit his own will; yea, even the wicked for the day of vengeance. Patrick. The Lord hath made all things according to their correspondency; yea, even the wicked are fitted for, or correspond to, the day of evil. Le Cene, p. 165. The meaning, according to Schultens, is, that God hath so formed and fashioned this universe, that every thing in it has its due connection and correspondence: evil is as naturally connected with punishment, as holiness and virtue with happiness and reward.
