Isaiah 29:21
_ _ Rather, “Who make a man guilty in his cause” [Gesenius], that is, unjustly condemn him. “A man” is in the Hebrew a poor man, upon whom such unjust condemnations might be practiced with more impunity than on the rich; compare Isaiah 29:19, “the meek ... the poor.”
_ _ him that reproveth — rather, “pleadeth”; one who has a suit at issue.
_ _ gate — the place of concourse in a city, where courts of justice were held (Ruth 4:11; Proverbs 31:23; Amos 5:10, Amos 5:12).
_ _ just — one who has a just cause; or, Jesus Christ, “the Just One” [Horsley].
_ _ for a thing of naught — rather, “through falsehood,” “by a decision that is null in justice” [Barnes]. Compare as to Christ, Proverbs 28:21; Matthew 26:15; Acts 3:13, Acts 3:14; Acts 8:33. |

The just — The faithful ministers of God. Nought — Not for any great advantage, but for a trifle. |
