SCRIPTURE

"The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; And the desire of the righteous shall be granted." — Proverbs 10:24 (ASV)

The fear of the wicked— that is, that of which he is afraid. (Hebrews 10:27.)

The desire of the righteous shall be granted.— For they submit their will to the will of God, and pray for what He sees best for them, which accordingly He grants; moreover, the Holy Spirit also aids them, making intercession for them according to the will of God (Romans 8:27).
