We must do all the good we can, and no hurt, to our neighbours, because according as men are just or unjust, charitable or uncharitable, humble or haughty, accordingly they shall receive of God,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

32 For the froward is abomination to the L ORD : but his secret is with the righteous. 33 The curse of the L ORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just. 34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The reason; such as are objects of God's favor. be thy confidence--literally, "in thy confidence," in the source of thy strength (compare Na 3:9, for the same construction, Hebrew). Promptly fulfil all obligations both of justice and charity (compare Jas 2:15, 16).
