Proverbs 28:1 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

PROVERBS CHAPTER 28 The character of the righteous and of the wicked, with the blessed fruits of integrity, and evil effects of sin, Proverbs 28:11-12. The evil of concealing and blessedness of confessing sin, Proverbs 28:13. The evil of oppression and violence, the benefit of industry and faithfulness, with sundry other observations, Proverbs 28:15-28. The wicked flee when no man pursueth, because the conscience of their own guilt puts them into a continual expectation and dread of God's judgments. The righteous are bold; are courageous and resolute, having the witness of a good conscience, and the assurance of Divine favour and protection, and the supports and consolations of the Holy Ghost.
