Yet they shamelessly cheat widows out of their property and then pretend to be pious by making long prayers in public. Because of this, they will be severely punished.”
Which devour widows' houses
As the characters of them, in the preceding verse, expose their
pride, this shows their avarice; they were very voracious and
cruel; they did not spare widows, but devoured their substance:
and for a show make long prayers;
to cover their wickedness, pretending great devotion and
religion; the same shall receive greater
damnation:
than openly profane sinners; doing such wickedness under a cloak
of religion, will aggravate their condemnation; (See Gill on
Matthew
23:14).
