Proverbs 21:21 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

He that followeth after righteousness, &c. That fervently desires, and diligently and constantly endeavours to attain these virtues, and to live in the exercise of them; findeth life Spiritual and eternal life; righteousness What is right and due to him, either from God, by virtue of his gracious promise, or from men, whose hearts God will incline to deal justly and kindly with him; and honour Esteem and respect from wise and good men here, and the crown of righteousness, that fadeth not away, hereafter.
