Proverbs 28:24-28

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Proverbs 28:27

We may supply the idea of blessing to the first statement legitimately, since the contrast is with curses in the second statement. 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.

"The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the... read more
