Proverbs 29:26 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.

Many seek the ruler's favour (literally, face; namely, that he may give sentence in their favour):

But (every) man's judgment (cometh) from the Lord. Yahweh is the true and primary source of all decisions: nothing happens except by His permission (Proverbs 21:1). By Him, too, we shall be ultimately judged. Therefore commit thy cause to Him.
