Commentary on Proverbs 28:8

Theological / Devotional

Usury and unjust gain. If a distinction more than rhetorical is intended, “usury” would refer to interest on a loan of money and “unjust gain” to increase on a loan of provisions. The money that the grasping man has accumulated by methods that God cannot approve, may, after his death, be disbursed to the poor by his heir (see Job 27:16, 17; Prov. 13:22).
