On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

What the sin is they are here charged with; they judge unjustly, contrary to the rules of equity and the dictates of their consciences, giving judgment against those who have right on their side, out of malice and ill-will, or for those who have an unrighteous cause, out of favour and partial affection.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

They are to be the protectors of those who lie exposed to injury and the patrons of those who want advice and assistance: Defend the poor, who have no money wherewith to make friends or fee counsel, and the fatherless, who, while they are young and unable to help themselves, have lost those who would have been the guides of their youth.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

): Rid them out of the hand of the wicked. Avenge them of their adversary, Luke xviii. These are clients whom there is nothing to be got by, no pay for serving them, no interest by obliging them; yet these are those whom judges and magistrates must concern themselves for, whose comfort they must consult and whose cause they must espouse.
