Proverbs 28:3 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

People raise a man of the people, poor like themselves, to power. They find him the worst oppressor of all, plundering them to their last morsels, like the storm-rain which sweeps off the seed-corn instead of bringing fertility.

Proverbs 28:3

3 A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
