Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt - This may be the case through various causes:
1.He may make an improper use of them, and lose his health by them.
2.He may join in an unfortunate partnership and lose all.
3.His riches may excite the desire of the robber; and he may spoil him of his goods, and even take away his life.
4.Or, he may leave them to his son, who turns profligate; spends the whole, and ruins both his body and soul. I have seen this again and again.
