Categories :
Semikkah7 One Year
For this reading, we had posts on two previous cycles dated 02/19/2021 and 12/02/2022. The verses commented on were: vs. 5 , 9 and 23.
I am covering here verse #12 and verse # 28 which are connected through a common phrase.
“When the righteous triumph, there is great rejoicing, but when the wicked come to power, people hide themselves.” Proverbs 28: 12
“When the wicked come to power , people hide, but when they are destroyed, the righteous flourish.” Proverbs 28:28
Here is John Gill’s commentary on 28:28:
