A man with an evil eye vs.  A man with a good eye

 

 

An evil eye refers to the eye of a greedy man (Prov. 28:22, Park Yun-sun).

The eyes of the greedy never look at the poor.

He shuts his eyes to the poor (v. 27).

He doesn’t react at all to the poor’s needs (v. 27, MacArthur).

Rather, he looks at the richer than he and covets his riches.

 

But a man with a good eye, a generous man (22:9) is compassionate to the poor (28:27).

He who is gracious to the needy honors Him (14:31).
