Proverbs - 22:29 Meaning
“Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
22:26-29 Every man ought to be just to himself, and his family; those are not so, who, by folly or other carelessness, waste what they have. 28. We are taught not to trespass on another man's right. And it is hard to find a truly industrious man. Such a man will rise. Seest thou a man diligent in the business of religion? He is likely to excel. Let us then be diligent in God's work.
“Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.”
