This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
Ver. 2. When the righteous are in authority.] Or, Are increased, as Pro_28:28; {See Trapp on "Pro_28:28"}
The people mourn.] Heb., Sigh (as the oppressed Israelites in Egypt did) where they dare not speak out. But what a bloody tyrant was Sulla, who put to death Marcus Plaetorius only for sighing at the cruel execution of Marcus Marius! So one Lancelot was burnt in Giles’s fields for pitying the cruel death of a couple of martyrs. {a}
{a} Acts and Mon., fol. 1164.
