On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

There are those whose office it is to judge-magistrates and ministers. Christ, though he made not himself a Judge, yet came not to unmake them, for by him princes decree justice; but this is directed to private persons, to his disciples, who shall hereafter sit on thrones judging, but not now.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The righteous God, in his judgments, often observes a rule of proportion, as in the case of Adonibezek, Judg. i. Thus will he be both justified and magnified in his judgments, and all flesh will be silenced before him.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Unkind judgment of others will be judicially returned upon ourselves, in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ. But, as in many other cases under the divine administration, such harsh judgment gets self-punished even here.

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

With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you - Awful words! So we may, as it were, choose for ourselves, whether God shall be severe or merciful to us. God and man will favour the candid and benevolent: but they must expect judgment without mercy, who have showed no mercy.
