This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He that is greedy of gain, that seeketh wealth by unjust courses, as appears from the opposite clause,
troubleth his own house; bringeth God’s curse and destruction upon himself and his family, whom he designed to enrich and establish.
That hateth; who refuseth them not with dissimulation, nor only from prudential reasons, but from a hearty abhorrency of all unrighteousness. Gifts, i.e. bribes given to corrupt judgment. See Exo_18:21 23:8 Deu_16:19.
Shall live; shall preserve himself and (which is understood out of the former clause) his family from ruin.
