This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The promised blessings are connected with obedience. God’s covenanted grace will lead those truly blessed by it to holiness, not licentiousness.
truth to ... neighbour - not that the truth should not be spoken to foreigners too; but He makes it an aggravation of their sin, that they spared not even their brethren. Besides, and above all outward ordinances (Zec 7:3), God requires truth and justice.
judgment of ... peace - Equitable decisions tend to allay feuds and produce peace.
gates - the place where courts of judicature in the East were held.
