SEV Biblia, Chapter 29:26
¶ Muchos buscan el favor del príncipe; mas del SEÑOR viene el juicio de cada uno.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:26
Verse 26. Many seek the ruler's favour ] To be screened from the punishment determined by the law; but should he grant the favour sought, and pardon the criminal, this takes not away his guilt in the sight of God, from whom all just judgment proceeds.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. Many seek the ruler’s favour , etc.] Or “face” f824 ; are very desirous of being admitted into his presence, and of having his company and conversation; of having an opportunity to ask a favour of him, and of receiving honour from him, and of gaining him on their side, to take their part in a cause depending; (see Proverbs 19:6); but [every] man’s judgment [cometh] from the Lord ; who has the hearts of kings and rulers in his hand, and directs them in bestowing their favours, and in determining causes; so that all things are ultimately from the Lord; and therefore it is best to seek unto him, and trust in him: or the state and condition and circumstances of men, as to riches and honour, and the like, are all from the Lord, according as he sees fit; who sets up one and pulls down another, according to his pleasure.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 26 - The wisest course is, to look to God, and seek the favour of the Rule of rulers; for every creature is that to us which God makes it to be.
