Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Proverbs 29:24

_ _ hateth ... soul — (Compare Proverbs 8:36).

_ _ heareth cursing — (Leviticus 5:1), risks the punishment, rather than reveal truth.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Proverbs 29:24

_ _ See here what sin and ruin those involve themselves in who are drawn away by the enticement of sinners. 1. They incur a great deal of guilt: He does so that goes partner with such as rob and defraud, and casts in his lot among them, Proverbs 1:11, etc. The receiver is as bad as the thief; and, being drawn in to join with him in the commission of the sin, he cannot escape joining with him in the concealment of it, though it be with the most horrid perjuries and execrations. They hear cursing when they are sworn to tell the whole truth, but they will not confess. 2. They hasten to utter ruin: They even hate their own souls, for they wilfully do that which will be the inevitable destruction of them. See the absurdities sinners are guilty of; they love death, than which nothing is more dreadful, and hate their own souls, than which nothing is more dear.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Proverbs 29:24

Bewrayeth it not — Which he is bound to do for the publick good.
