This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
In thee; in Jerusalem.
Have they: it is plural, and agrees with princes, they whose better disposition, whose education and greatness, (beside the command of God,) should have advanced their venerable thoughts and deportment towards parents.
Set light by, have contemned, father and mother, though God threatens to curse such as do so, Deu_27:16.
They; the princes still, as the construction in the original carrieth it.
By oppression; by force and fraud, for the oppression here mentioned is made up of both; where either the fox or lion could apart, or else both joined, they have oppressed the stranger, expressly against God’s command, Exo_22:21.
They; still the same great men, and rulers, who should, as Isa_1:17, have defended, plead. ed for, relieved, and comforted the fatherless and widow, but contrariwise they oppress, disquiet, and make a prey of them.
