Commentary on Proverbs 24:22

Theological / Devotional

Of them both. Since “both” seems clearly to refer to God and the king, the expression must describe the ruin they inflict upon those who rebel against them. Such ruin may come suddenly, unexpectedly, and with crushing force. Good men are well advised to keep from being caught up in it through friendship with the enemies of these two great powers.
