By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
By me princes rule, х saariym (H8269)] - a different Hebrew word from that for "princes" х rowzªniym (H7336)] in Proverbs 8:15. The "princes" rowzªniym in Proverbs 8:15 were those so named from fineness of intellect (from Hebrew, raazah, to make fine) in deciding judicial causes, framing laws, and acting as the king's privy counselors. The sarim or "princes" in Proverbs 8:16 are the prefects over lower departments of the palace and kingdom.
