PROVERBS 24:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:”
Fear the LORD and the king, my son, and do not join with those who seek change—an exhortation to respect both divine and civil authority, establishing that rebellion against either is dangerous. The verb 'join with' (im-rodeifim) describes conspiracy with revolutionaries. The theological significance involves the principle that order and stability depend on respect for authority.
