Ver. 14. The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients.] With the princes and rulers, each of which shall have cause to cry out,
“ Iudex ante fui, nunc iudicis ante tribunal Sistor. ”

And the spoil of the poor is in your houses.] You are taken åð áõôïöùñù , {a} in the very act of your theft, as Cacus was, and Verres, &c.
