21 Fear the Lord and the king, my son, and do not join with rebellious officials,
21 My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
21 My son, fear the Lord and the king, and do not join with those who do otherwise,
21 Fear God, dear child - respect your leaders; don't be defiant or mutinous.
21 My son, fear the Lord and the king; Do not associate with those given to change;
21 My child, fear the Lord and the king. Don't associate with rebels,
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 24:21
Commentary on Proverbs 24:21-22
(Read Proverbs 24:21-22)
The godly in the land, will be quiet in the land. There may be cause to change for the better, but have nothing to do with them that are given change.
