28:1 The wicked {a} flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
(a) Because their own conscience accuses them.

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.

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.

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.

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.

28:12 When righteous [men] rejoice, [there is] great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man {f} is hidden.
(f) He is known by his doings to be wicked.

28:14 Happy [is] the man that {g} feareth always: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
(g) Which stands in awe of God, and is afraid to offend him.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
