Proverbs 24:21

Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

My son, fear thou the Lord and the king - Pay to each the homage due: to the Lord, Divine honor and adoration; to the king, civil respect, civil honor, and political obedience.

Meddle not with them that are given to change - תתערב אל שונים עם im shonim al titharab : "And with the changelings mingle not thyself." The innovators; those who are always for making experiments on modes of government, forms of religion, etc. The most dangerous spirit that can infect the human mind.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

Them that are given to change - Those that seek to set aside the worship of the true God, or the authority of the true king, who represents Him.
