John Gill Commentary Proverbs 6:15

"Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; On a sudden shall he be broken, and that without remedy." — Proverbs 6:15 (ASV)

Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly
Unthought of and unexpected: he that devises mischief to others secretly shall have no warning of his own ruin, nor time and means of preventing it; the destruction of antichrist will be sudden, and of all wicked men at the coming of Christ, (1 Thessalonians 5:3) (Revelation 18:7Revelation 18:8) ; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy ;
or, "and there shall be no healing" ^F2 : his bones will be broken to pieces, and there will be no cure for him; or he shall be like an earthen vessel, which, when broke, cannot be put together again. The ruin of wicked men is sudden, inevitable, and irreparable; so antichrist will "come to his end, and none shall help him", (Daniel 11:45) .
