Commentary on Proverbs 28:16

Theological / Devotional

Great oppressor. Compare Jer. 22:13-19.

Hateth covetousness. Covetousness is an inordinate desire for gain. Men who turn their back upon the true gain of eternal life and spend their life in seeking the temporary and trifling gains of this world reveal their lack of understanding.
