He that walketh righteously; who is just in all his dealings with men, of which the following clauses explain it: which is not spoken exclusively, as if piety towards God were not as necessary as righteousness towards men; but comprehensively, this being one evidence and a constant companion of piety. Speaketh uprightly; who speaks truly and sincerely, what he really intends. That despiseth; that refuseth it, not for politic reasons, as men sometimes may do, but from a contempt and abhorrency of injustice. From holding; or, from taking or receiving; as this verb signifies, Proverbs 4:4, Proverbs 5:5 28:17. That will not receive, much less retain, bribes. That stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood; who will not hearken or assent to any counsels or courses tending to shed innocent blood. And shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; that abhorreth the very sight of sill committed by others, and guardeth his eyes from beholding occasions of sin; of which see on Job 31:1.
