Mishle 29:14 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 29:14

The king that faithfully judgeth the poor
That truly executes justice and judgment among all his subjects, particularly the poor, who are too often neglected, because they cannot afford persons to plead their cause: such a king was Solomon; and especially the Messiah, of whom he was a type, ( Psalms 72:1 Psalms 72:2 Psalms 72:4 Psalms 72:12 Psalms 72:13 ) ; his throne shall be established for ever;
be secure to him as long as he lives, and to his posterity after; justice to all men, and mercy to the poor, are the support of a prince's throne; see ( Proverbs 20:28 ) ( 25:5 ) .

Mishle 29:14 In-Context

12 If a moshel pays heed to davar sheker, all his mesharetim (officials, ministers) are resha’im.
13 The rahsh (pauper) and the oppressor have this in common: Hashem enlighteneth both their eynayim.
14 If Melech shofet be’emes (judges in truth) the dalim, his kisse shall be established forever.
15 The shevet (rod) and tokhakhat (reproof) give chochmah, but a na’ar (child) left to himself bringeth immo to shame.
16 When the resha’im are multiplied, peysha (transgression) increaseth, but the tzaddikim shall see their downfall.
