4:14 For out of {h} prison he cometh to reign; though also [he that is] {i} born in his kingdom becometh poor.
(h) That is, from a poor and base estate or out of trouble and prison as Joseph did, Ge 41:14.
(i) Meaning, that is born a king.
4:14 For he - The poor and wise child is often advanced to the highest dignity. Whereas - That old king is deprived of his kingdom.
4:13-16 People are never long easy and satisfied; they are fond of changes. This is no new thing. Princes see themselves slighted by those they have studied to oblige; this is vanity and vexation of spirit. But the willing servants of the Lord Jesus, our King, rejoice in him alone, and they will love Him more and more to all eternity.
