Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 24:23

23 These things also belong to the wise . It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment .

These Proverbs or Counsels here following to the end of the Chapter no less than those hitherto mentioned.

Are worthy of the consideration, and fit for the use of them who are or would be wise; for onely such are capable of understanding and improving these Proverbs, as was noted, Ch. 1. 5, 6, 7. and elsewhere.

For Judges to determine Controversies partially according to the quality of the Persons, and not according to the merits of the Cause.
