Job 34:19 Meaning and Commentary

Job 34:19

[How much less to him] that accepteth not the persons of
princes
And indeed God is not the respecter of the persons of any, no, not of the greatest men on earth, kings and princes, ( Acts 10:34 ) ; these are alike dealt with by him as others in the dispensations of his providence; nor do they escape the marks of his displeasure, wrath and vengeance, when they sin against him:

nor regardeth the rich more than the poor?
by showing favour to them, or conniving at them,

for they [are] all the work of his hands;
both the rich and the poor; not only as creatures made by him, but as rich men and poor men; it is God that makes men rich or poor, ( 1 Samuel 2:7 ) ( Proverbs 22:9 ) ; instances follow proving this, that God is no respecter of persons on account of outward circumstances.

18 ungodly that says to a king, Thou art a transgressor, to princes, O most ungodly one.

19 as would not reverence the face of an honourable man, neither knows how to give honour to the great, so as that their persons should be respected.

21 For he surveys the works of men, and nothing of what they do has escaped him.
