On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Appetite and passion rule them, and not reason nor conscience. Their principle is, Quicquid libet, licet -- My will is my law. And, Sic volo, sic jubeo; stat pro ratione voluntas--This is my wish, this is my command; it shall be done because I choose it.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

their judgment and . . . dignity . . . proceed of themselves--that is, they recognize no judge save themselves, and they get for themselves and keep their own "dignity" without needing others' help.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Their judgment - The law they observe, is their own will. Their dignity - Their authority is all from themselves, without respect to any other law or rule whatever.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
