Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 28:15
15. Roaring lion The word represents the growling of a lion and other like beast when they have seized their prey, rather than their “roaring” on other occasions. This peculiar growl may be observed in the common cat. It seems expressive of the fierce pleasure of possession. Ranging bear Rather, hungry, or raging with hunger. The imagery is very vivid, and well represents the rapacity of greedy rulers and office bearers, who make a prey of the helpless people. The picture is eminently... read more

16. Prince that wanteth understanding It is not a wicked ruler only that oppresses his people, but a weak one also; one who is himself both incapable of governing well and of selecting good advisers. He will probably prefer weak men, like himself, or wicked men, who flatter him and give him evil counsel. Witness the case of Rehoboam, given in 1 Kings.

17. Violence to the blood The first part of this verse is better read: A man burdened with the blood of a person shall flee to the pit the figure of death. Let no man stay him Muenscher reads: “That he may not be taken.” So Conant, substantially: “He will rush on to self-destruction, rather than fall into the hands of the avenger of blood.” Our Authorized Version, however, is justifiable.

18. Walketh uprightly Or, as a perfect man. Shall be saved From danger and evil shall be safe. Perverse… shall fall That is, a man of tortuous way, whatever his turns or shifts, shall eventually fall in one or another of his crooked ways. Thus many critics. But Conant prefers the Authorized Version. At once Suddenly, unexpectedly to himself. Compare Proverbs 29:1. read more

19. Shall have plenty Shall have enough, and more than enough; shall be satiated. Comp. Proverbs 12:11. Vain persons Worthless fellows: “vanities.” Conant. Substantially the same term as in Matthew 5:22. It is employed as a term of contempt, with the idea of moral depravity superadded. He that chooses such for his companions shall have plenty of poverty. read more
