Proverbs 28:24 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Saith in his heart, supposing that he hath a right to his father's goods. Is the companion of a destroyer; either,

1. He hereby showeth that he is fallen into such wicked society, from whom he hath such counsel or example. Or,

2. He is no less guilty than a thief who robs and destroys men upon the highway; he is a thief and robber, because he hath no right to the actual possession of his father's goods before his death, or without his consent.

Proverbs 28:24

24 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.e
