John Trapp on Proverbs 28:27

Verſ. 27. He that giveth unto the poor ſhall not lack] Eleemoſyna ars omnium queſtuoſiſſima, ſaith Chryſoſtome. Not getting but giving is the way to wealth. God will bleſſe the bountiful mans ſtock and ſtore, his barn and his basket, Deut. 15.10. his righteouſneſs and his riches together ſhall endure for ever, Pſal. 112.

But he that hideth his eyes] i. e. that when he hath a fit object and opportunity of ſhewing mercy offered him, frameth excuſe, and pretendeth this thing, and that, to his worldly and wicked retentions; that uſeth his wits to ſave his half-peny, but will not uſe his eyes to affect his heart with pitty, Iſ. 58.7.

Shall have many a curſe] Men ſhall curſe him, and call him a Pamphagus, a churl, a hog in a trough, a fellow of no faſhion, &c. God ſhall alſo curſe him, and ſet off all hearts from him, as he did from Haman; in his neceſſity, he will ſhut his ears to ſuch a mans moans in miſery, and hide his eyes from his ſupplication, Pſal. 55.1. Iſa. 1.15. Finally, he ſhall have judgement without mercy, that hath ſhewed no mercy, Jam. 2.13. an evil, an onely evil ſhall befall him; Ezek. 7.5. his puniſhments ſhall come cloſe together, and God ſhall ſo ſet them on, as no creature ſhall be able to take them off.
