Proverbs 11:31 *If the just man receive in the earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner?

1 Peter 4:18.
Receive. Punishment, for almost inevitable faults, or be treated according to his deserts. Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic, "if the just be hardly saved, where shall the impious and the sinner appear?" (1 Peter 4:18.) (Calmet) --- Afflictions attend the just in this life. Shall the wicked escape? (Menochius)
