Proverbs 14:19 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

The evil bow before the good Giving honour to them, and supplicating their favour and help; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous As clients and petitioners are wont to wait at the houses of the great and powerful, or beggars at the doors of such as they expect will relieve their wants. The sense is, good men will have the pre-eminence over the wicked often in this life, when God sees it expedient, but assuredly in the life to come.
