[How much less to him] that accepteth not the persons of princes, etc.] And indeed God is not the respecter of the persons of any, no, not of the greatest men on earth, kings and princes, (<441034>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, (<090207>1 Samuel 2:7 <202209>Proverbs 22:9); instances follow proving this, that God is no respecter of persons on account of outward circumstances.
