Lamentations 3:36

“To subvert a man in his cause, etc.] A poor man, as the Targum, which aggravates it; as by courses and methods taken in an open court, so by secret underhand ways, to get the cause from him, and injure him in his property: the Lord approveth not; or, “seeth not” f79; which some understand as spoken by wicked men, who do the above things, and flatter themselves that God sees not, and takes no notice of them, (<260909>Ezekiel 9:9); and others read it interrogatively, “doth not the Lord see?” f80 he does; he sees all the actions of men, nothing is hid from him; but he sees not with approbation; he do not look upon such things with delight and pleasure, but with abhorrence, (<350113>Habakkuk…”

“subvert--to wrong.”

“Neither does God approve of wanton cruelty inflicted by one man on another. Three examples are given: the treatment of prisoners of war; the procuring an unjust sentence before a legal tribunal acting in the name of God (see Exodus 21:6); and the perversion of justice generally. return to 'Top of Page'”
