Definitions for Proverbs 3:28
Clarke's Proverbs 3:28 Bible Commentary
Say not unto thy neighbor - Do not refuse a kindness when it is in thy power to perform it. If thou have the means by thee, and thy neighbor's necessities be pressing, do not put him off till the morrow. Death may take either him or thee before that time.
Barnes's Proverbs 3:28 Bible Commentary
Procrastination is especially fatal to the giving impulse. The Septuagint adds the caution: "for thou knowest not what the morrow will bring forth."
Wesley's Proverbs 3:28 Bible Commentary
3:28 Say not - The former verse forbad the denial, and this forbids the delay of this duty.
