Gill's Notes on the Bible
And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor,.... Such as have no husband to provide for them, nor father and mother to care for them, and are in a strange land, where they have no friends or acquaintance, and are poor, and can not help themselves. Laws of this kind were frequently inculcated among the Jews; see Deuteronomy 24:14:
and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart; thoughts of evil are sinful, and forbidden by the law of God, as well as actions, which agrees with our Lord's sense of the law, Matthew 5:22, see Leviticus 19:17.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And oppress not - He had commanded positive acts of love; he now forbids every sort of unlove. âHe that oppresseth the poor,â Solomon had said, âreproacheth his Maker. The widow, the orphan, the stranger, the afflictedâ Proverbs 24:31, are, throughout the law, the special objects of Godâs care. This was the condition which God made by Jeremiah; âIf ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if ye thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor; if ye oppress not the stranger the fatherless and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt, then will I cause you to dwell in this, placeâ Jeremiah 7:5-7. It was on the breach of the covenant to set their brethren free in the year of release, that God said; âI proclaim a liberty for you to the sword, to the pestilence and to the famine, and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earthâ Jeremiah 34:17.
And let none of you imagine - that is, âdevise, as, by Micah, God retorted the evil upon them. They âdevised evil on their beds; therefore, behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necksâ Micah 2:1, Micah 2:3.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Zechariah 7:10. Evil against his brother in your heart. — Do not indulge an unfavourable opinion of another: do not envy him; do not harbour an unbrotherly feeling towards him.
