John Trapp on Proverbs 11:28

Verſ. 28. Hee that truſteth to his riches ſhall fall] Riches were never true to any that truſted to them. The rich Churl that truſted and boaſted that hee had much goods laid up in ſtore for many years, when, like a Jay, hee was pruning himſelf in his boughes, hee came tumbling down with the arrow in his ſide, Luke 12.15, 16. &c. So did Nebuchadnezzar, Belteſhazzar, Herod, &c. The righteous alſo ſhall ſee and fear, and laugh at ſuch a one, ſaying, Loe this is the man that made not God his ſtrength, but truſted in the abundance of his riches, and ſtrengthned himſelf in his wickedneſs, Pſal. 52.6, 7. But I am like a green Olive tree, &c. verſ. 8. Agreeable whereunto is this that follows here. But the righteous ſhall flouriſh as a branch, whiles the wicked, Foenea quadam felicitate temporaliter florent, Aug. Epiſt. 120. & exoriuntur ut exurantur, flouriſh and ruffle for a time, but ſhall bee ſoon cut down like the graſs, and wither as the green herb.
