Lamentazioni 3:35 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 3:35

To turn aside the right of a man
The Targum is, of a poor man; not to do him justice in a court of judicature; to cause judgment to incline to the wrong side; to give the cause against a man, to give a wrong sentence; this is disapproved of by the Lord, and forbidden by him: before the face of the most High;
either before the most high God, he being present and among the gods, the judges, when they pass sentence; and yet, to pass a wrong one in his presence, without any regard to him, or fear of him, must be provoking to him: or, "before a superior" {f}, as some render it; before a judge that sits upon the bench; endeavouring by unjust charges, wrong pleas, and false witnesses, to deprive a man of his right; see ( Ecclesiastes 5:8 ) .

Lamentazioni 3:35 In-Context

33 giacché non è volentieri ch’egli umilia ed affligge i figliuoli degli uomini.
34 Quand’uno schiaccia sotto i piedi tutti i prigionieri della terra,
35 quand’uno perverte il diritto d’un uomo nel cospetto dell’Altissimo,
36 quando si fa torto ad alcuno nella sua causa, il Signore non lo vede egli?
37 Chi mai dice una cosa che s’avveri, se il Signore non l’ha comandato?
