Contextual Overview

12 I wysdome dwell with counsell, and finde out knowledge and vnderstanding. 13 The feare of the Lorde abhorreth wickednes, pryde, disdayne, and the euil way, and a mouth that speaketh wicked thinges I vtterly abhorre. 14 Counsell is mine, and direction, I am vnderstanding, and I haue strength. 15 Through me kinges raigne, and princes make iust lawes. 16 By me princes beare rule, and noble men do iudge the earth. 17 I am louing vnto those that loue me: and they that seeke me early, shall finde me. 18 Riches and honour are with me, yea durable riches and righteousnes. 19 My fruite is better then golde and pretious stones, and mine encrease more worth then fine siluer. 20 I wyll guyde thee in the way of righteousnes, and in the midst of the pathes of iudgement: 21 That I maye stablishe the inhetaunce of them that loue me, and encrease their treasure.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

By me princes rule,.... All governors of provinces and cities, who are under the king as supreme; the discharge of whose office in a right manner requires much wisdom, prudence, justice, and integrity; all which they have from Christ, as well as their power of ruling, that rule well;

and nobles, [even] all the judges of the earth; the word e for nobles signifies persons of a "free" spirit, generous, bountiful men; such as are called "benefactors", Luke 22:25; so one of the Ptolemys, king of Egypt, was called Evergetes. Such who govern, not in a cruel and rigorous manner, but with clemency and gentleness; who, as they are "free" and noble themselves, their subjects are a free people, and enjoy their privileges and liberties fully and quietly. And "the judges of the earth" are such, as sit on benches of justice, hear and try causes, and pass sentence on men; which requires great skill and knowledge, and much faithfulness and integrity, which all that perform their office aright have from Christ. How great therefore must he be! how wise and just! from whom all rulers, supreme and subordinate, have their power; prudence, generosity, and justice!
