Verses 20-21
20, 21. For the terrible one The haughty and overbearing among the worldly Jewish leaders.
Watch for iniquity For opportunities to commit it.
That make a man an offender for a word Hold a man criminal, perhaps, for a reproving word; the prophet, for example, who was faithful to announce the truth front God, or any pious, uninfluential man, whose modest remonstrance they would not endure, and whom they would have condemned in a mock trial at the gate, the place for holding court.
Turn aside the just The man who had a just cause, by a decision that was a mere mockery of justice.
Be the first to react on this!
