This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
they afflict ... they take - rather, “(ye) who afflict ... take.”
bribe - literally, a price with which one who has an unjust cause ransoms himself from your sentence (1Sa 12:3, Margin; Pro 6:35).
turn aside the poor in the gate - refuse them their right in the place of justice (Amo 2:7; Isa 29:21).
