This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_21:21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
Ver. 21. He that followeth after righteousness.] Though, for such a measure of it as he desires, he cannot overtake or compass it. If he be but doing at it, Si faciat praecepta, etiamsi non perficiat, if he "think upon God’s commandments to do them." {Psa_103:18} If, though he cannot open the door, yet he is lifting at the latch, he shall be accepted, yea, rewarded. "He that follows after righteousness and mercy, "as an apprentice follows his trade, though he be not his craftsmaster, shall "surely find righteousness," with life and honour to boot. And is not that a good thing - a treasure to be desired?
