Verse 2

The plotting in view involved robbing others of their fields, houses, and inheritances ( including lands) through deception (cf. 1 Kings 21:3; Isaiah 5:8). The wealthy not only violated the tenth commandment against coveting what belongs to a neighbor but also the eighth commandment against stealing (Exodus 20:15; Exodus 20:17; Leviticus 19:13; Deuteronomy 5:19; Deuteronomy 5:21; Colossians 3:6-7). Furthermore they broke the second greatest commandment that said they should love their neighbors as themselves (Leviticus 19:18; cf. Matthew 22:34-40).

"They practiced the world’s version of the Golden Rule: ’Whoever has the gold makes the rules.’" [Note: Wiersbe, p. 392.]
