Proverbs 28:4 - John Wesley's Notes

Proverbs 28:4

2 Because of the transgression of a land, many are its princes;
But by a man of understanding and knowledge
Right will be prolonged.

3 ^aA poor man who oppresses the poor
Is like a driving rain¹ which leaves no food.

4 ^aThose who forsake the law praise the wicked,
^bBut such as keep the law contend with them.

5 ^aEvil men do not understand justice,
But ^bthose who seek the Lord understand all.

6 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
Than one perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
