Commentary
Commentary on Proverbs 15:27
Theological / DevotionalHateth gifts. The subject of this verse seems to be chiefly the taking of bribes to pervert judgment (see Deut. 16:19; Isa. 1:23; Eze. 22:12). The man who is so greedy for gain that he stoops to sell his honor does not gain enduring wealth. Sooner or later, his actions become known, and the household that has lived in unearned luxury finds itself poor.
