Throne of iniquity. — This is an apt expression for an oppressive and unjust government. The word rendered “iniquity” might mean “calamity” or “destruction” (see Psalms 57:1, and comp. Psalms 91:3 : “noisome”), but in Proverbs 10:3 it seems to mean “lawless desire,” which best suits this passage.
Have fellowship — i.e., be associated in the government. Could the theocracy admit to a share in it, not merely imperfect instruments of justice, but even those who perverted justice to evil ends?
Which frameth mischief by a law? — i.e., making legislation a means of wrong. Others, however, render, “against the law.” But the former explanation best suits the next verse.
