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

Hidden manhood The two main truths here taught have been anticipated by a foregoing proverb, viz. the advantage to society of promoting the good; and the injury done by the advancement of the wicked (see Proverbs 11:10 ). But there is a truth suggested by the wise man's language which does not elsewhere appear; he says that when the wicked rise "a man is hidden," that "men hide themselves." The fact here alluded to is clear enough; we have often read, or have frequently observed, that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 28:24
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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 28:24
Whoso robbeth his father - The father's property is as much his own, in reference to the child, as that of the merest stronger. He who robs his parents is worse than a common robber; to the act of dishonesty and rapine he adds ingratitude, cruelty, and disobedience. Such a person is the compatriot of a destroyer; he may be considered as a murderer. read more
