Deliverance And Being Handed Over

Δίκαιος ἐκ θήρας ἐκδύνει ἀντ' αὐτοῦ δὲ παραδίδοται ὁ ἀσεβής ... Τὸ, Ἀντ' αὐτοῦ, οὐχ ὡς ὑποκειμένου τοῦ εὐσεβοῦς τῇ δίκῃ, ἀλλ' ἐπειδὴ ἡ παγὶς ἕστηκεν ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ κατὰ τοῦ δικαίου, ὁ μὲν εὐσεβὴς ῥύεται ἐξ αὐτῆς παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὁ δὲ ἀσεβὴς ἐγκαταλειφθεὶς παρὰ τῆς θείας προνοίας πίπτει ἐν αὐτῇ· ἢ ὅτι ἐπειδὴ ὁ δίκαιος ὑπόκειταί τισιν ὡς ἄνθρωπος ἁμαρτίαις, ἐλθὼν δὲ ὁ ἀσεβὴς καὶ κακοποιήσας τὸν δίκαιον, τῶν μὲν ἁμαρτιῶν καὶ τῶν μελλουσῶν κολάσεων ἐῤῥύσατο αὐτὸν, εἰς ἑαυτὸν δὲ τὰς τιμωρίας ὑπεδέξατο, παραδίδοται δὲ οὐχ ὑπό τινος ἄλλου, ἀλλ' ὑπὸ τῆς ἰδίας κακίας, ὡς προπαραδοὺς ἑαυτὸν εἰς ἀδόκιμον νοῦν.

The righteous man shall be delivered from ruin and the godless man shall be handed over for him... 1 'For him,' not that the righteous are liable to damnation but that since the snare was placed by the wicked man for the righteous man, the pious man is delivered from it by God, but the impious man, being forsaken by Divine providence, falls into it. Or because when the righteous man is yet a sinner because he is a man, if the impious man comes upon him to do evil, the righteous man is delivered from his sins and future punishment, but the wicked man draws that punishment to himself. Yet he is not handed over for another, unless because of his own wickedness, since he had already given himself over to a wicked mind. Didymus the Blind, On Proverbs, Chap 11, fragment 1 Prov 11.8
