Bible Comments

He that trusteth in his riches, as his chief portion, and felicity, and ground of safety, shall fall, as a withered leaf, by comparing this clause with the latter. The righteous, who maketh God alone, and not riches, his trust, shall flourish as a branch, to wit, a green and flourishing branch.

Proverbs 11:28

28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
