Proverbs 28:10

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 28:10

Here is, 1. The doom of seducers, who attempt to draw good people, or those who profess to be such, into sin and mischief, who take pride in causing the righteous to go astray in an evil way, in drawing them into a snare, that they may insult over them. They shall not gain their point; it is impossible to deceive the elect. But they shall fall themselves into their own pit; and having been not only sinners, but tempters, not only unrighteous, but enemies to the righteous, their condemnation... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 28:10

Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way ,.... That is, who attempts to deceive them, and draw them into errors or immoralities, and so into a snare, into mischief and ruin; first into the evil of sin, in order to bring them into the evil of punishment; I say, who attempts to do it; for it is not possible that God's elect, those who are truly righteous and good, should be totally and finally deceived, Matthew 24:24 ; he shall fall himself into his own pit ; which he had... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 28:1-25

(latter part) The source of disturbance and the secret of security We hardly need the pen of the wise man to assure us that— I. SIN MEANS DISTURBANCE TO OUR SOUL . 1 . It is bad enough to be unfortunate ; to suffer from privation or loss. 2 . It is far worse to be guilty . We soon accommodate ourselves to our misfortunes; we readily adjust ourselves to our circumstances, even though these may be very narrow. But sin strikes deep, and its wound lasts long.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 28:6-12

The moral quality of life Nothing we can touch, no relation we can enter into or observe, but has its moral bearing. This, indeed, is the great lesson, in hundredfold iteration, of this book. I. POVERTY WITH INNOCENCE , WEALTH WITH PERVERSITY . ( Proverbs 28:6 .) Whatever be the compensations of poverty in a lower point of view, most men would vote for riches if they had the opportunity at the price of all its inconveniences, and we need to be reminded that he who would... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 28:10

A tristich. Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way. It is doubtful whether physical danger or moral seduction is meant. The gnome is true in either case; he who mishads one who trusted him, and who, being simple and good, ought to have been respected and to have received better treatment, shall fall into the destruction which he prepared for the other ( Proverbs 26:27 ). Taking the proverb in a moral sense, we find this truth: If the good man does ever yield to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 28:10

The tempter I. THE GREATEST SIN IS TEMPTING ANOTHER TO SIN . This is Satanic wickedness, following the example of the devil. 1 . It is most guilty because it tends to increase wickedness . It is sowing evil seeds. It is bad enough to cultivate the deadly fruit in one's own life, but to propagate it elsewhere is to be a source of trouble and manifold wickedness. 2 . It is particularly guilty because it ruins souls . It is an attack upon other men. The... read more

Proverbs 28:10. Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray Who, by evil counsel, or example, or artifice, draws them into such practices as expose them to great danger and mischief; he shall fall himself into his own pit Into that very mischief which he designed for them; but the upright shall have good things Shall, by God’s good providence towards him, both keep the good, of which the wicked seeks to deprive him, and escape that mischief which he plots against him. read more

Donald C. Fleming

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
