SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:24
¶ El que roba a su padre o a su madre, y dice que no es maldad, compañero es del hombre destruidor.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 28:24
Verse 24. Whoso robbeth his father ] The father's property is as much his own, in reference to the child, as that of the merest stronger. He who robs his parents is worse than a common robber; to the act of dishonesty and rapine he adds ingratitude, cruelty, and disobedience. Such a person is the compatriot of a destroyer; he may be considered as a murderer.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. Whoso robbeth his father or his mother , etc.] As Micah did of eleven hundred shekels of silver, ( Judges 17:2); and saith, [it is] no transgression ; what is his father’s or his mother’s is his own, or as good as his own, it will come to him at their death; and if he wants it before, he thinks he ought to have it; and if they are not willing to give it him, it is with him no sin to rob them of it; and this he says within himself, to quiet his conscience when he has done it; or to others who may charge him with it: but, whatever such a man thinks, sins against parents are greater than against others; as parricide is a greater sin than any other kind of murder, so robbing of parents is greater than any other kind of theft; it is more aggravated, especially when parents are aged, and cannot work for themselves, but depend on what they have for their livelihood; whereas a young man can, and ought, and should rather give to his parents than rob them of what they have; the same [is] the companion of a destroyer ; of a murderer; either he has got into such company which have put him upon such wicked practices; or he will soon get into such a society, and, from a robber of his father and mother, become a robber on the highway, and a murderer; and he has wickedness enough to be a destroyer of the lives of his parents, as well as of their substance; and sometimes the one sin leads to the other.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24 - Here is the wickedness of those who think it no sin to rob their parents, by wheedling them or threatening them, or by wasting what the have, and running into debt.
