箴言 28:5-6 CUVS

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 28:6-14

Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father. He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own... read more

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

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Proverbs 28:1-28

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." Then the proverb means that a multiplicity of princes is an evil, but men of understanding are a benefit. Verse Proverbs 28:13. LikePsalms 32:1-11; Psalms 32:1-11, a remarkable revelation of how far these men saw into the very heart of truth concerning the attitude of God toward the sinner. Verse Proverbs 28:14. The blessedness of caution. The peril of stubbornness. Verse... read more

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

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

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 28:1-28

Second Division, Proverbs 28 f.— In general character this division resembles Section II., consisting chiefly of antithetic couplets. Proverbs 28:2 b. The text is uncertain, and various renderings are possible. The translation “ state” is very doubtful. If MT be retained, connect the word for “ state” with the preceding, and translate “ by men of understanding who know what is right it is prolonged.” LXX reads “ Through the sin of the ungodly disputes arise, but a prudent man quenches them,”... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 28:5

Understand not, because their minds are naturally blind, and are further blinded by their own prejudices and passions, and by the god of this world, who rules in and over them. Judgment, i.e. what is just and right; what is their duty in all cases and conditions, as judgment is frequently understood. That seek the Lord, by diligent study of his word, and by fervent prayers to him for advice. All things which are necessary to be known by them, either for the discharge of all their present duties... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 28:6

Better; in a much safer and happier condition. In his ways, Heb. in two ways; halting between two ways, pretending to virtue, but practising vice; or covering his wicked designs with good pretences; or sometimes erring on one hand, and sometimes on the other, as wicked men commonly do. read more

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 28:5. Judgment, or, “what is right” (Delitzsch). Proverbs 28:6.
