28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous increase.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 28:28

Commentary on Proverbs 28:28

(Read Proverbs 28:28)

When power is put into the hands of the wicked, wise men decline public business. If the reader will go diligently over this and the other chapters, in many places where at first he may suppose there is least of Christ, still he will find what will lead to him.
