Proverbs 15:27
_ _ Note, 1. Those that are covetous entail trouble upon their families: He that is greedy of gain, and therefore makes himself a slave to the world, rises up early, sits up late, and eats the bread of carefulness, in pursuit of it — he that hurries, and puts himself and all about him upon the stretch, in business, frets and vexes at every loss and disappointment, and quarrels with every body that stands in the way of his profit — he troubles his own house, is a burden and vexation to his children and servants. He that, in his greediness of gain, takes bribes, and uses unlawful ways of getting money, leaves a curse with what he gets to those that come after him, which sooner or later will bring trouble into the house, Habakkuk 2:9, Habakkuk 2:10. 2. Those that are generous as well as righteous entail a blessing upon their families: He that hates gifts, that shakes his hands from holding the bribes that are thrust into his hand to pervert justice and abhors all sinful indirect ways of getting money — that hates to be paltry and mercenary, and is willing, if there be occasion, to do good gratis — he shall live; he shall have the comfort of life, shall live in prosperity and reputation; his name and family shall live and continue. |
Proverbs 15:27
Troubleth — Brings God's curse upon himself and family. Gifts — Bribes given to corrupt judgment. Live — Shall preserve himself and family from ruin. |
