Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

"Is it not for you to know judgment? Yes, it is; therefore stand still, and hear your own judgment, and judge if it be not right, whether any thing can be objected against it." 2. How wretchedly they had transgressed the rules of judgment, though they knew what they were.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

princes--magistrates or judges. Is it not for you?--Is it not your special function (Jer 5:4, 5)? judgment--justice. Ye sit in judgment on others; surely then ye ought to know the judgment for injustice which awaits yourselves (Ro 2:1).

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

Is it not for you - Ought not you to understand, and conform to, the just laws of your God. You princes, magistrates, and ruling officers, ought of all men to know and do right.

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