Verse Takeaways

Justice Requires a Voice
Commentators explain that this verse condemns not only corrupt legal practices but also a societal failure to stand up for what is right. John Calvin notes that when good people are silent in the face of injustice, they essentially consent to it. This serves as a powerful reminder that faith requires actively defending truth and protecting the vulnerable, not just refraining from personal wrongdoing.
