Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Proverbs 28:1-28

CHAPTER 28 Warnings and Instructions Continued The wicked is a coward; the righteous man, because he trusteth in the Lord and knows the Lord is on his side, is as bold as a lion. It is the conscience which makes a coward of the wicked man. This chapter has many sharp contrasts and important warnings and exhortations. We point out a few. Those who forsake the law, turn their backs upon the revelation of God, refuse obedience to Him, praise the wicked, they make common cause with them. Those who... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 28:1-28

IF we HAVE SEEN in chapter 27 the blessing of God and refuge in the sanctuary, chapter 28, a fourth section. brings our feet abruptly back to the wilderness path, where walk and ways must be tested by the crucible of trial. These tests are particularly stern, the more so because of the widespread departure from the revelation of God in Hezekiah's days. which we have seen to be so similar to "the last days" of the history of the church on earth. "The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Proverbs 28:1-28

This division of the book is introduced in the first verse of chapter 25, as the “proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah, copied out.” What these words mean it is difficult to say, except in the general sense that the teachers of Hezekiah’s period selected and gathered together wise sayings that had been written, or handed down orally in previous generations. They may have been those of Solomon only, and yet his name may be attached to them simply because they were now... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Proverbs 28:1-28

The Plight of the Wicked, Etc. Proverbs 28:0 Such flight is not so irrational as it may at first sight seem to be. Even here there is a deep philosophy. When wicked men flee, they suppose themselves to be fleeing from pursuers, and by so much they are acting in many cases irrationally; but in reality they are attempting the impossible task of fleeing from themselves. When a man is in a position of innocence he considers it impossible that any man can attack him. Such is the mystery of an... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 28:15-28

As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people. The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him. Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Proverbs 28:18-28

The Advantages of Integrity v. 18. Whoso walketh uprightly, in the integrity of pious conduct, shall be saved, delivered or helped by the Lord; but he that is perverse in his ways, trying to hide his wickedness under the mantle of hypocrisy, shall fall at once, be brought to sudden ruin. v. 19. He that tilleth his land, working in the sweat of his face, shall have plenty of bread, as the reward of his labor; but he that followeth after vain persons, being engaged in all kinds of vain and... read more

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
