Isaiah 1:17 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Learn to do well; begin and inure yourselves to live soberly, righteously, and godly. Seek judgment; show your religion to God, by studying and practising justice to men, and neither give nor procure any unrighteous judgment. Relieve the oppressed; be not only just, but merciful. Judge the fatherless; defend and deliver them, as this word is used, Psalms 7:8,11 Psalms 9:4, and oft elsewhere. Plead for the widow; maintain the righteous cause of poor and helpless persons, against their unjust and potent adversaries; whereby you will show your love to justice and mercy, and that you fear God more than men.

Isaiah 1:17

17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieveh the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
