Context of Proverbs 28:18
16A leader who is a great oppressor lacks understanding, But he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days. 17A man who is laden with the guilt of human blood Will be a fugitive until death; let no one support him. He who walks blamelessly will be delivered, But he who is crooked will fall all at once. 19He who tills his land will have plenty of food, But he who follows empty pursuits will have poverty in plenty. 20A faithful man will abound with blessings, But he who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished.

Commentaries on Proverbs 28:18
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 18Shall fall at once - Shall fall without resource, altogether.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 18In his ways - Rather “in his double ways” (as in Proverbs 28:6). The evil of vacillation rather than that of craft, the want of the one guiding principle of right, is contrasted with the straightforwardness of the man that “walketh uprightly.” Shall fall at once - Better, shall fall in one of them (his ways). The attempt to combine incompatibilities is sure to fail. Men cannot serve God and Mammon.Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 18Verse 18 Uprightness will give men holy security in the worst times; but the false and dishonest are never safe.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1818. (Compare Pr 10:9; 17:20). Double dealing is eventually fatal.Read the comment
