The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down (verse 1).
The faithless will be fully repaid for their ways and the good rewarded for theirs (verse 14).
In both these verses, the person gets the reward of their labor. The good will receive good, but the one who tears down will get ruin. Yes, in life, others can change what happens to us, but ultimately, the reward we get from God will be based completely on our actions. There will be no one else to blame when we stand before God, and often even in this life. We have choices to make on how we respond to bad things that may come to us, but how we respond isn't normally anyone else's responsibility; it is ours. Choose Wisely.
