The Lord is witness against you, to wit, if you shall at any time hereafter reproach my government or memory. Or rather, against you, that I gave you no cause to be weary of God's government of you by judges, or to desire a change of the government; and thereby the blame of it wholly rests upon yourselves. But this was only insinuated, and therefore the people did not fully understand his drift in it. Ye have not found ought, i.e. any thing which I have gotten by bribery or oppression. They answered, Heb. he answered, i.e. the whole people, who are here spoken of as one person, because they answered thus with one consent.
