Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Proverbs 28:1-28

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

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

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's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 28:15

The lion and bear are always cruel and greedy in their natures, and especially when they are hungry and want prey, in which case the lions roar, Psalms 104:21; Isaiah 31:4, and bears range about for it. So is a wicked ruler; instead of being a nursing father, and a faithful and tender shepherd, as he ought to be, he is a cruel and insatiable oppressor and devourer of them: Over the poor people; whom he particularly mentions, either to note his policy in oppressing them only who were unable to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 28:16

The tyranny or oppression of a prince, though by some accounted wisdom, is in truth a manifest act and sign of great folly, because it alienateth from him the hearts of his people, in which his honour, and safety, and riches consist, and ofttimes causeth the shortening of his days, either from God, who cuts him off by some sudden judgment, or from men, who are injured by him, and exasperated against him. Covetousness is the chief cause of all oppressions and unjust practices. Shall prolong his... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 28:17

A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person, that sheddeth any man’s blood, or taketh away his life unjustly, shall flee to the pit; shall speedily be destroyed, being pursued by Divine vengeance, and the horrors of a guilty conscience, and the avengers of blood. Let no man stay him: so it is a prohibition that no man should endeavour to save the life of a wilful murderer, either by intercession, or by offering satisfaction, or any other way; of which see Genesis 9:6; Exodus 21:14;... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 28:18

Shall be saved, to wit, from destruction, because God hath undertaken and promised to protect him. In his ways, Heb. in two ways, of which phrase see above on Proverbs 28:6. Shall fall at once; once for all, so as he shall not need a second thrust, 1 Samuel 26:8, and so as he shall never rise more. Or, in one, to wit, of his ways. Though he hath various ways and arts to secure himself, yet none of them shall save him, but he shall perish in one or other of them, and shall be given up by God to... read more

That followeth after vain persons; choosing their company, and imitating their example; who gives up himself to vanity and idleness, and so is fitly opposed to the diligent man in the former clause. read more
