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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 28:4

They that forsake the law, that live in the contempt of and disobedience to God’s law, praise the wicked; honour their persons, contrary to Psalms 15:4; freely and familiarly associate themselves with them, and approve of their sinful courses; all which proceeds from their great likeness to them. Contend with them; are so far from praising or applauding them, that they severely rebuke them, and to the utmost of their power oppose them in their wicked enterprises. read more

Matthew Poole

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

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

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 28:7

Is a wise son; and consequently a credit and comfort to his father, as hath been oft noted before. Is a companion of riotous men; which is both a manifest violation of God’s law, which forbids this society, and is the ready way to a total and final apostacy from God, and from his law. Shameth his father, because he is a foolish son. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 28:8

By usury and unjust gain, Heb. by usury and (or, or) increase, i.e. by any kind of usury, whereby the poor are oppressed, as is implied from the opposite clause; or by any unrighteous practices. See more of these words and of this thing on Exodus 22:25; Leviticus 25:35,Leviticus 25:36; Psalms 15:5; Ezekiel 18:8. Shall gather it for him that will pity the poor; it shall not long continue with him or his, but shall by God’s righteous and powerful providence be disposed into more just and merciful... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 28:9

He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, that obstinately refuseth to yield audience or obedience to God’s commands, even his prayer shall be abomination to God, whose law he despised. God will abhor and reject his person, and all his services. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 28:10

Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way; that by evil counsel, or example, or artifice draws them into such practices as expose them to great danger and mischief. The upright shall have good things in possession; 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 plotteth against him. read more
