SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:28
No digas a tu prójimo: Ve, y vuelve, y mañana te daré; cuando tienes contigo qué darle .
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 3:28
Verse 28. Say not unto thy neighbour ] Do not refuse a kindness when it is in thy power to perform it. If thou have the means by thee, and thy neighbour's necessities be pressing, do not put him off till the morrow. Death may take either him or thee before that time.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 28. Say not unto thy neighbour , etc.] Either to whom thou art indebted, and who comes for the payment of a just debt; or to any poor and indigent person that applies for alms: go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give ; go home, and come tomorrow, and I will pay thee what I owe thee; or do not trouble me now, come another time, and perhaps I may relieve thy wants: this should not be said, because a man cannot be sure of tomorrow that he shall ever see it; nor may it be in the power of his hands, should he live unto the morrow, to do as he promises; his substance may be taken from him; and besides, in the mean time, the poor object may perish for want of relief; when thou hast it by thee ; money to pay thy debts with, or to give alms to the poor; and therefore should give readily and at once, and not make any excuses and delays; “bis dat, qui cito dat”. Some make this to be part of the covetous man’s words, saying, “and there is with thee”; or thou hast enough, thou hast no need to ask of me; thou hast what thou askest; thou art not in want; thou art richer than I; but the other sense is best. The Septuagint and Arabic versions add, “for thou knowest not what the day following may bring forth;” or may happen on it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27-35 - Our business is to observe the precepts of Christ, and to copy his example; to do justice, to love mercy, and to beware of covetousness to be ready for every good work, avoiding needless strife, and bearin evils, if possible, rather than seeking redress by law. It will be found there is little got by striving. Let us not envy prosperou oppressors; far be it from the disciples of Christ to choose any of their ways. These truths may be despised by the covetous and luxurious but everlasting contempt will be the portion of such scorners, whil Divine favour is shown to the humble believer __________________________________________________________________
