Whoso robbeth his father or his mother (comp. Proverbs 19:26 ); taking from them what belongs to them. Septuagint, "He who casts off ( ἀποβάλλεται ) father or mother." And saith, It is no transgression. He salves his conscience by thinking all would be his ere long in the course of nature; or he uses the plea of Corban denounced by our Lord ( Mark 7:11 , etc.). The same is the companion of a destroyer ( Proverbs 18:9 ); is no better than, stands in the position of, one who... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 28:24

Filial duty These words may be taken not only as condemnatory of filial wrong, but as suggestive of filial obligation. We look first at— I. THREE FORMS OF FILIAL WRONG . 1 . Culpable carelessness . Doing things or leaving them undone, so that the money of parents (which, perhaps, can ill be spared) is wasted. 2 . Unconscientious appropriation . Which may ascend from picking out of the pet or taking from the cupboard up to a serious appropriation of property. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 28:24-25

Sins of greed I. THEY MAY LEAD TO UNNATURAL VICES — EVEN THE ROBBERY OF PARENTS . ( Proverbs 28:24 .) The heart must be profoundly corrupted that can sacrifice filial affection on the shrine of the base lust for gain. Theft is not less but more a crime it committed against one's own blood. II. THEY LEAD TO STRIFE . ( Proverbs 28:25 .) They overcome the instinct for justice and social right, and the man becomes an oppressor and a murderer—if not in act,... read more

Proverbs 28:23. He that rebuketh a man That reproves him for his faults, though he may displease, nay, anger him at the first; afterward shall find more favour than he that flattereth When the person reproved comes calmly to consider the fidelity, good intention, and disinterestedness of the reprover, and the benefit coming to himself by the reproof, and withal the baseness and mischief of flattery, he will entertain a greater regard for such a man, than for one that humours him in every... read more

Proverbs 28:24. Whose robbeth his father or his mother Who openly or secretly, by force, fraud, or deceit, by arts or threats, or by negligent or wilful wasting, deprives them of their property, or runs in debt and leaves them to pay it; and saith In his heart; It is no transgression Supposing that he hath a right to his parents’ goods; the same is the companion of a destroyer Not only shows that he associates with spendthrifts, who will lead him to his ruin, but is wicked enough to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 28:1-28

Selfish ambition (28:1-28)A bad conscience makes a person a coward, but a clear conscience gives a person courage (28:1). Some characteristics of a corrupt society are instability in the government, exploitation of fellow citizens (even among the poorer classes), lawlessness, reversal of moral standards, injustice and greed. In spite of this, some will always remain true to God (2-7).Even those who are religious may be guilty of exploiting the poor and misleading the upright, but their... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 28:23

"He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favor Than he that flattereth with the tongue."The scholars tell us that there's difficulty in the Hebrew with the word `afterward'; and the same is true as it stands in our version. If the first line is rearranged to read, "He that rebuketh a man afterward shall find more favor," then it might mean that the `afterward' would refer to misdemeanor; but as it is the word appplies to the time when the one who rebuked will find more favor.To rebuke... read more
