ExplanationCommentary
Verse 8. Oppression. Lit. “calumny.” The most perfect can hardly bear it. Hebrew “oppression (or calumny of others. Calmet.) will make the wise insane, and a present will ruin the heart.” Mont.—Avarice blinds us. Bible.—Deuteronomy 16:19 “a corrupt judge examines ill the truth.”
