This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Because he is poor: this may be mentioned, either,
1. As a motive to this robbery, because he was unable to resist him, or to revenge himself upon him. Do not take advantage of his poverty. Or,
2. As an argument against it, because he is a fitter object for thy pity and charity, than for thy injustice or cruelty. It is base and inhuman to crush such a person.
In the gate; in the place of judgment, or under pretence of justice, and much less in other ways, where there is no colour of justice.
