He that is greedy of gain, that seeketh wealth by unjust courses, as appears from the opposite clause, troubleth his own house; bringeth God's curse and destruction upon himself and his family, whom he designed to enrich and establish. That hateth; who refuseth them not with dissimulation, nor only from prudential reasons, but from a hearty abhorrency of all unrighteousness. Gifts, i.e. bribes given to corrupt judgment. See Exodus 18:21, Exodus 23:8 Deuteronomy 16:19. Shall live; shall preserve himself and (which is understood out of the former clause) his family from ruin.
