Genesis19:9

9 And they said, stand back . And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn , and he will needs be a judge : now will we deal worse with thee then with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

Or, Go further off, i. e. out of our way, stand not between us and the door: or come hither: That so they might seize him, and proceed in their designed wickedness.

q. d. One man, and he too but a stranger, presumeth to oppose the whole society of the native Citizens.

Heb. In judging he will judge. This busie-body, if not restrained in time, will take Authority to himself to censure, reprove and condemn us from time to time.
