Commentary on Proverbs 1:19

Theological / Devotional

Taketh away the life. The covetous man is heedless of the sufferings of the poor whom he oppresses and whose lives he may shorten by deprivation, whether by violence or by recognized commercial practices. The solemn warnings here enumerated indicate that such sin will bring its own evil consequences in this life as well as in the day of judgment (see Rom. 6:23; James 1:14, 15).
