Matthew on Proverbs 11:28
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch. Observe, 1. Our riches will fail us when we are in the greatest need: He that trusts in them, as if they would secure him the favour of God and be his protection and portion, shall fall, as a man who lays his weight on a broken reed, which will not only disappoint him, but run into his hand and pierce him. 2. Our righteousness will stand us in stead when our riches fail us: The righteous shall then flourish as a branch, the branch of righteousness, like a tree whose leaf shall not wither, Psalms 1:3 . Even in death, when riches fail men, the bones of the righteous shall flourish as a herb, Isaiah 66:14 . When those that take root in the world wither those that are grafted into Christ and partake of his root and fatness shall be fruitful and flourishing. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-29" class="com-number"
