Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 28:27

27 He that giveth unto the poor, shall not lack : but he that hideth his eyes , shall have many a curse .

Shall not impoverish himself by it, as covetous men imagine or pretend, but shall be inriched, which is implied.

Lest he should see poor and miserable men, and thereby be moved to pity or obliged to relieve them. So he cunningly avoids the beginnings and occasions, and provocations to Charity, teaching us to use the same caution against sin.

Partly from the Poor, whose Curses being not causless shall come upon him, and partly from God, who will curse his very Blessings, and bring him to extream want and misery.
