SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:23
¶ También estas cosas pertenecen a los sabios. Tener acepción de personas en el juicio no es bueno.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 24:23
Verse 23. These things also belong to the wise. ] µymkjl hla µg gam elleh lachachamim, "These also to wise." This appears to be a new section; and perhaps, what follows belongs to another collection. Probably fragments of sayings collected by wise men from the Proverbs of Solomon. It is not good to have respect ] Judgment and justice should never be perverted.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 23. These [things] also [belong] to the wise , etc.] Both what is said before concerning fearing God and the king; these belong to the wise and unwise, rich and poor, great and small; particularly judges and civil magistrates, and all subordinate governors, who have, or ought to have, a competency of wisdom; these ought to fear God and the king, as well as private subjects; and also what follows after, especially in this verse and ( Proverbs 24:24-26). Some render the words, “these things also [are the sayings] of wise men” f670 ; not of Solomon, but of other wise men in his time, or who lived after him, and before the men of Hezekiah copied out the proverbs in the following chapters; (see Proverbs 25:1); but it seems more than probable that what follows to the end of the chapter are the words of Solomon, as ( Proverbs 24:33,34) most clearly are, compared with ( Proverbs 6:10,11); [it is] not good to have respect of persons in judgment ; in trying causes in a court of judicature, no regard should be had to the persons of men by the judge on the bench, as the rich more than to the poor; or to a relation, a friend, an intimate acquaintance, more than to a stranger; but the justice of the cause ought to be attended to, and sentence given according to it, let it fall as it will: God does not accept persons, nor regard the rich more than the poor; nor should they that stand in his stead, and who in some sense represent him, ( Leviticus 19:15) ( Deuteronomy 1:17 Job 34:19); nor should Christians in their communities act such a partial part, ( James 2:1-3).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23-26 - The wisdom God giveth, renders a man fit for his station. Every one wh finds the benefit of the right answer, will be attached to him tha gave it.
