Proverbs 10:3

SCRIPTURE

"Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked." — Proverbs 10:3 (ASV)

Casteth away ... - Better, “overturns, disappoints the strong desire of the wicked.” Tantalus-like, they never get the enjoyment they thirst after.
