None calleth for justice, nor [any] pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
Ver. 4. None calleth for justice.] Mindeth the judges of their duty, but rather connive, collogue, partake, &c. The Chaldee hath it, ‘There is none that delivereth the poor and needy.'
They trust in vanity.] As those did; Jer 7:4 making a bridge of their own shadows, they fall into the brook.
They conceive mischief, &c.] This is taken out of Psa 7:14 Job 15:35; See Trapp on " Psa 7:14 " See Trapp on " Job 15:35 " Heb., Going great with grievance, and bringing forth vexation.
