(a) Because their own conscience accuses them.


Pro 28:2 For the transgression of a land (b) many [are] its princes: but by a man of understanding [and] knowledge [its] state shall be prolonged.

(b) The state of the commonwealth is often changed.


Pro 28:8 He that by interest and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather (c) it for him that will pity the poor.

(c) For God will take away the wicked usurer, and give his goods to him that will bestow them well.


Pro 28:9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer [shall be] (d) abomination.

(d) Because it is not of faith which is grounded on God's word or law which the wicked contemn.


Pro 28:11 The rich man [is] wise in his own conceit; but the poor man that hath understanding searcheth (e) him out.

(e) And judge that he is not wise.

(g) Which stands in awe of God, and is afraid to offend him.


Pro 28:15 [As] a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; [so is] (h) a wicked ruler over the poor people.

(h) For he can never be satisfied but always oppresses and spoils.


Pro 28:17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of [any] person shall flee to the pit; let no man (i) sustain him.

(i) No one will be able to deliver him.


Pro 28:21 To have respect of persons [is] not good: for for a piece of (k) bread [that] man will transgress.

(k) He will be abused for nothing.


Pro 28:22 He that hasteneth to be rich [hath] an evil (l) eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.

(l) Meaning, he that is covetous.


Pro 28:25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made (m) fat.

(m) Will have all things in abundance.
