Commentary on Proverbs 28:27

Theological / Devotional

Shall not lack. Since God regards all that is done for the poor and needy as done to Himself, wise giving to those in need will not impoverish the giver (see chs. 11:24-26; 19:17). Selfishness brings a curse by its very nature, quite apart from anything that God may do to show His displeasure (Haggai 1:9-11). Thus indirectly the neglected poor heap many a curse upon the head of the man who ignores their plight.
