Context of Proverbs 28:18
16A leader who is a great oppressor lacks understanding, But a person who hates unjust gain will prolong his days. 17A person who is burdened with the guilt of human blood Will be a fugitive until death; no one is to support him! One who walks blamelessly will receive help, But one who is crooked will fall all at once. 19One who works his land will have plenty of food, But one who follows empty pursuits will have plenty of poverty. 20A faithful person will abound with blessings, But one who hurries 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
