Zechariah 7:10 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.

Let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart - i:e., let none devise evil. The Septuagint take it, harbour not the desire of revenge (Leviticus 19:18). "Devise not evil against one another" is simpler (Psalms 36:4; Micah 2:1).
