Proverbs 16:10 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

A divine sentence is in the lips of the king— These words, according to Melancthon, affirm the whole political order, magistrates, laws, distinction of dominions, contracts, judgments, punishments, to be things ordained by the wisdom of God among men; and since we know political order to be the work of God, we ought to love it, and study to defend it; modestly for God's sake to obey it; give thanks to God who preserves it, and look upon those who would disturb this order as most hateful in the sight of God. See Romans 13.
