Proverbs 11:26 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it. He that withholdeth corn - Who refuses to sell because he hopes for a dearth, and then he can make his own price.

The people shall curse him - Yes, and God shall curse him also; and if he do not return and repent, he will get God's curse, and the curse of the poor, which will be a canker in his money during time, and in his soul throughout eternity.
