Commentary on Proverbs 28:24

Theological / Devotional

No transgression. Nothing will excuse robbery. Even though the son may claim that all that his parents have will be his when they are gone, their material possessions are still not his to take without their consent. If he seizes them, he is no better than any other plunderer (see ch. 19:26). Christ spoke in condemnation of the son who refused to provide for his parents under the excuse of having deeded his property to the Temple (Matt. 15:4-6; Mark 7:9-12).
