Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Pro 28:22 - Hath an evil eye // That poverty shall come upon him

Hath an evil eye is uncharitable to persons in want, envious towards those who get any thing besides him, and covetous or greedy of getting riches by all ways possible, whether just or unjust. Thus an evil eye is taken , Pro 23:6 Mat 20:15 , as a good eye notes the contrary disposition, Pro 22:9 .

That poverty shall come upon him and consequently that he shall need the pity and help of others, which he cannot expect either from God or men, who hath so hardened himself against others in misery.

Haydock: Pro 28:22 - Poverty

Poverty. Septuagint, "the merciful shall have power over him," ver. 8. (Haydock)

Gill: Pro 28:22 - He that hasteth to be rich // hath an evil eye // and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him

He that hasteth to be rich,.... As every man that is eagerly desirous of riches is; he would be rich at once ^z, and cannot wait with any patience in the ordinary course of means:

hath an evil eye; on the substance of others, to get it, right or wrong; is an evil man, and takes evil methods to be rich ^a; see 1Ti 6:9; or an envious one; is an envious man; as the Septuagint and Arabic versions; he envies others, as the Vulgate Latin version, the riches of other men; he grudges everything that goes beside himself; and that makes him in haste to be rich, that he may be equal to or superior to others: or he is a sordid, avaricious, illiberal man, that will not part with anything for the relief, for others, and is greedy of everything to amass wealth to himself; an evil eye is opposed to a good or bountiful one, that is, to a man that is liberal and generous, Pro 22:9;

and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him; for wealth gotten hastily, and especially wrongfully, diminishes, wastes, and comes to nothing in the end; it sometimes flies away as fast as it comes; it has wings to do the one, as well as the other: this the man in haste to be rich does not consider, or he would have taken another method; since this is not the true way of getting and keeping riches, but of losing them, and coming to want; see Pro 13:11.
