This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The just shall put it on; either because it shall be given to him by the judge to recompense those injuries which he received from that tyrant; or because the right of it is otherwise transferred upon him by Divine Providence.
The innocent shall divide the silver; either,
1. To the poor; he shall distribute that which the oppressor hoarded up and kept as wickedly as he got it. So this suits with Pro_28:8 Ecc_2:26. Or,
2. With others, or to himself; he shall have a share of it, when by the judge’s sentence those ill-gotten goods shall be restored to the right owners.
