The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Proverbs 28:1-17
The Consequences of Impiety v. 1. The wicked flee when no man pursueth, their bad conscience making them timid; but the righteous, filled with the consciousness of their uprightness and therefore possessing a good conscience, are bold as a lion, their courage being upheld by their trust in God. v. 2. For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof, that is, when the spirit of rebellion once takes hold of a country, there will be many men aspiring to be rulers, and many changes... read more

c) Against unscrupulous, unlawful dealing (especially of the rich with the poor)Chap. 281 The wicked flee when no man pursueth,but the righteous are bold as a lion.2 In the rebellion of a land its princes become many,but through wise, prudent men one (the prince) continueth long.3 A man who is poor and oppresseth the lowlyis (like) a rain flooding and (bringing) no food.4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked,but they that keep the law contend with them.5 Evil men... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 28:1-28
Verse Proverbs 28:2. "The transgression of a land" must be understood as the opposite of the "state shall be prolonged."

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Proverbs 28:1-27
Divine Contrasts Proverbs 28:1-27 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We have another one of Solomon's messages which God gave to him. We will bring out several statements in the beginning of the chapter. 1. A contrast in consciences. Proverbs 28:1 : "The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are bold as a lion." Our minds immediately go to a self-accusing conscience on the part of the wicked. When a man is sinful he is afraid almost of his own shadow. He is continually imagining that some... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 28:14
FEAR AND ITS ANTIDOTE‘Happy is the man that feareth alway.’ ‘Perfect love casteth out fear.’ Proverbs 28:14 (with 1 John 4:18). Fear has a place in the Gospel, may we but find it. The object of fear may be either a thing or a person. I. We fear a thing which, being possible, is also undesirable or dreadful.—We do not fear that which is impossible; we do not fear that which is pleasant or neutral. Our Prayer Book, commenting in the Catechism upon the Lord’s Prayer, bids us call three things... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 28:1-28
A Collection Of Solomon’s Proverbs (Proverbs 10:1 to Proverbs 29:27 ). Solomon’s presentation of The Book of Proverbs has followed the pattern of much Wisdom literature. This commenced with the initial heading detailing the details of the author and his purpose in writing (Proverbs 1:1-7), continued with a Prologue which laid the foundation for what was to follow (Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18), and was then followed by the body of the work introduced by one or more subheadings. In Solomon’s... read more
