Proverbs 28:27 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack Shall not empoverish himself by it, as covetous men imagine or pretend, but shall be enriched, which is implied; but he that hideth his eyes Lest he should see poor and miserable persons, and thereby be moved to pity, or obliged to relieve them; shall have many a curse Partly from the poor, whose curses, being not causeless, shall come upon him, and partly from God, who will curse his very blessings, and bring him to extreme want and misery.

Proverbs 28:27

27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
