Key Reflection

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless -To do this is everywhere represented as a special crime, and as especially offensive to God from the fact that these classes are naturally feeble and unprotected. See the notes atIsaiah 1:17;Psalms 68:5;Psalms 82:3.
