This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





He that is first in his own cause, he that first pleadeth his cause,



seemeth just, both to himself and to the judge or court, by his fair pretences.



His neighbour cometh, to contend with him in judgment and to plead his cause,



and searcheth him; examineth the truth and weight of his allegations, and disproveth them, and detecteth his weakness. Or, discovers him; for seeking or searching are oft put for finding, as Pro_17:9,19, and elsewhere.
